The SHIN Pure Malt Whisky is crafted by Mr. Ken Usami, the master blender of Shinobu Distillery, who selected malt whiskies and finished them in casks made of Japanese Oak, Mizunara Wood. It is bottled at 48% ABV and comes in 700mL and 750mL volumes. The whisky is balanced between the woody flavor and incense of sandalwood from Mizunara Oak and the bold aged maltiness, per the brand.
Irish whiskey powerhouse Bushmills has offered a 10-year-old age-stated single malt for decades, but somehow, we’re just now getting around to reviewing it. A snazzy new package refresh in recent years helped bring this oversight to our attention, so without further ado.
