Nagahama Sake Cask n°0137
Single Cask - 57,7% - 50 cl
Nagahama Saké Cask n°0137 is a single cask that embodies the excellence and refined craftsmanship of the Nagahama distillery founded in 2016 on the shores of Lake Biwa.
Read moreOn the nose, this whisky offers an enchanting sensory experience, with round, floral vanilla notes from the bourbon cask, balanced by refreshing, herbaceous nuances reminiscent of lemongrass and rice, characteristic of sake. On the palate, this expression reveals all the richness of the sake cask, with a dry, clean texture contrasting with an underlying sweetness, offering a complex, balanced taste experience. The finish is marked by lingering fruitiness, where notes of musky raisin and pear mingle harmoniously with the sweetness of vanilla and white flowers, leaving a lasting, balanced impression on the palate.
This single cask was carefully aged in bourbon barrels for three years, before being finished in a barrel that had previously contained Junmai Daiginjo sake. This double maturation gives this expression a unique complexity, reflecting the heritage of Japanese whisky, as well as a deep respect for the cask and its influences on the spirit.
Cask n°0137 was selected for its unique and atypical quality by Takashi Kiyoi, master blender, and Yusuke Yahisa, master distiller at Japan's smallest distillery, known for its still nicknamed "arambic" because of its shape evoking Arabian architecture. Nagahama Saké Cask is truly a tribute to the craftsmanship and excellence of Japanese whisky.
