Shirakawa 1958, Mizunara Oak Cask, 2022, 49%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

88 / 100

This is identified as a Japanese single malt from Fukushima, with Mizunara oak named on the label. Citrus, apple and lime sit alongside incense and spice, leading to a balanced, persistent finish with mint flavouring and soft nuttiness.
