The Story

About The Mikuni Blended Japanese Whisky

The Mikuni distillery released its first whisky in 2018, and has since been creating its delicious and smooth expressions relying on the pristine water from Japanese mountains, on carefully selecting just the right casks, and on the excellent skills of its master blender. The credit for The Mikuni’s distinctive, rich flavor goes to Kenji Watanabe, a well-known figure in the Japanese whisky world, and the master blender for a number of other brands. Following his philosophy of never losing focus and fully leveraging his past experience in creating whiskies, he searches for the best harmony when blending a number of different unprocessed malt and grain whiskies.

The Mikuni Blended Japanese Whisky is a blend of malt and grain whiskies, and the finest fresh mountain water drawn from over 820 feet underground, which has been filtered through porous volcanic rock. The whisky is then aged three years in ex-Bourbon barrels and bottled at 80 proof. This mellow and well-rounded expression comes in an elegant bottle with classic Japanese style label, which reflects the spirit of the blend.

Tasting Notes

The nose has aromas of smoke, spices, pear and dried fruit. A little bite on the first sip evolves into a smooth and pleasant palate with honey, vanilla, brown spices and dried figs. It finishes with a hint of white oak and a spreading sweetness.
