From the Bottle: "The Shinobu Distillery is located in the Japanese seaside region of Niigata on the country's western coast. The area is famous for it's "Three White Treasures": snow, rice and sake which have been cultivated there for centuries. Shinobu Pure Malt Whiskies are crafted by master blender, Mr. Usami Ken who blends malts aged in sherry, bourbon and hogshead casks before finishing them in Japan's prized Mizunara Oak. Famous for imparting rich, honeyed flavours of apples, pears, cloves and nutmeg, Mizunara Oak has been used in Japan since the 1930s and is now sought after by whisky makers around the world. All Shinobu whiskies are created without chill-filtration or added color to protect and enhance their deeply complex, robust flavor."
