Shinobu 10 Year Pure Malt Mizunara Japanese Oak Finish

Very nice. On the nose, it's quite fruity with hints of vanilla and orange zest. The taste is full and well rounded. Again, quite fruity with a subtle vanilla - chocolate. There's a spice on the finish that is very nice.

Very nice and fresh but yet complex and just finishes really really well. For a Japanese whisky like this it deserves points simply for being available While the origin of the malt is not disclosed, I strangely feel that this has such uncanny similarities with Woodford reserve double oak which is like half the price But but but the mizunara finish defiantly is a clear stand out
