A blend of 20 year old sherry cask whisky from before Shinshu distillery closed with 3-6 year make from reopening. This is such a good dram with notes of berries, figs, honey, caramel, floral notes, and whisps of peat on the finish.

@worldwhiskies95. I did get those—namely for some of those after reading the reviews here. I’ve not opened any up yet. Really looking forward to trying the Lucky Cat...that sold out in minutes from what I saw
@worldwhiskies95 @PBMichiganWolverine Also saw Capovilla Rum, Komagatake Tsunuki Aging, Yoichi Peaty and Salty on the list of your collection
@PBMichiganWolverine Have u opened the lucky cat? If so, how do u like it. I also notice u got Tears of Llorona, Tapatio Excelencia, Dudognon Heritage, and the 99 rated single cask 1997 Calvados. Have u opened any of those and if so how do u like them
@worldwhiskies95. I’ve been curious of these..I have their “Lucky Cat Mint” version. These “Nature “ series seem great too. Nice review!
