An intense, 12-year-old expression of a Single Malt Japanese Whisky finished in sweet Sherry casks. Not content with just any slice of land, these guys built their stills in 1955 underneath Mount Asama—an active volcano. They only used Golden Promise, an imported barley from Scotland that was praised for its stellar character when matured for longer periods of time. It has a bitter & dry birth with notes of fig, sweet sherry, bread & cherry; while a rich life is filled with notes of fruit, plum & dates; that led to a long & sour death with notes mint, licorice, nut, spice, leather & orange.
