Shibui 18 Year Single Grain Japan is distilled and matured in refill Fino and Manzanilla sherry casks for 18 years at the Kumesen Distillery in Okinawa, Japan.
The palate is cleaner with notes of fresh apricot and brown banana emerging, with a bready, cereal character, tobacco, and a walnut note all heavy on the brooding finish. Scattered.
Slightly acidic at the front, with a fortified wine quality and flavor. While it has a lighter texture than the previous bottles, it becomes creamier towards the back of the palate.
