Hinotori 5 Year Blended Japanese Whisky (750 ml)

Description

Hinotori means "Phœnix" in Japanese!

Coming back from its ashes is exactly what the Hekinan distillery, located in Aichi and founded in 1949, is doing by releasing a limited 5 years old batch made from malt and grain in a pot still. Ageing takes place in used whisky barrels for 5 years to allow gentle and smooth aromas to develop.

Not chill-filtered
