Description

"Shinobu" is the Japanese for 'Forbearance', considered as an important virtue of samurai culture and reflects the same spirit of great whisky craftsmanship. " Shogun" represents the pinnacle of power, leadership, and strategic brilliance. Crafted by Master Blender Ken Usami in the heart of Niigata Prefecture, this whisky is a masterful blend of carefully selected whiskies, aged for three years in both Bourbon and Mizunara casks. The Bourbon casks impart a rich, vanilla sweetness, while the Mizunara casks add a layer of complexity with notes of sandalwood and exotic spices. This whisky is a testament to the art of blending and aging, offering a taste of Japan's rich history and the elegance of its whisky-making tradition. It is bottled with no added coloring and is non-chill filtered.

Nose
Pleasant aromas of honeyed fruits and toasted oak, with subtle hints of coconut and almond. An elegant and floral opening with notes of ripe orchard fruits and zesty lemon peel, enveloped by sandalwood and temple incense.
Palate
A harmonious dance of flavors, with creamy vanilla, caramelized pears, and a touch of pleasant cinnamon spice. Deeply complex and balanced with layers of sweet honey and toasted nuts, followed by a delicate hint of coconut, black pepper, and ginger spice.
Finish
An elegant, lingering and delightful, leaving behind a refined trail of sweet oak and soft, aromatic spices. Long, smooth, and deeply aromatic, with woody spice of Mizunara wood lingering alongside a touch of floral vanilla and a whisper of wild mint.
