AnttiRG 4.0

A balanced, limited-edition, NAS single malt expression from Japan. A blend of old & young Whiskies in barrels of different origins & a vatting of malt matured in European Sherry & Port casks for up to two years.; married the whole thing to a young malt matured in Bourbon cask. It has an aromatic birth with notes of sherry & port; while a rich life adds notes of strawberry, fruit & vanilla; that led to a balanced death of medium length with notes of rye, plum, cinnamon & apple.
