Kishu Kumano Hinoki Cask Finished Whisky 700ml
Kumano Hinoki cask finish is a blended malt composed of a 3 year old malt and a new pot malt with an additional 6 months of ageing in a Hinoki cask. It is the world’s first Japanese whisky aged in Hinoki casks. The Hinoki (Japanese cypress) is considered a sacred tree in the Shinto religion and more particularly as the tree of God. Kumano Hinoki Cask Finish is smooth and fresh on the palate, with a honeyed finish.
The Kishu Kumano distillery was established in May 2019. Gin and whisky are produced here using the unique aroma and fragrance of the fruits and agricultural products of Kumano, Kishu. The distillery does not strive for quantity, but for excellence. Its aim is to produce a barley malt whisky that is less abundant but more refined. The brewing is carefully crafted through maturation management, yeast selection and a series of artisanal processes in wooden casks. Taking advantage of the unique delicacy of small distilleries and craft breweries, the products have been exported to Europe, America, the Middle East and other parts of the world. Over the next 50 years, the distillery will focus on looking at the world in a global way.
