Scotch Malt Whisky “Full of Eastern promise” – Japanese Whisky News
At The Scotch Malt Whisky Society, we’re always on the search for intriguing flavours to surprise and delight our members. This pursuit has taken us to all corners of the globe, from the United States to India and beyond.
Today we’re bringing you two stars from the East in the form of these exceptional casks all the way from Japan. Distillery 130 has only been seen once before in the Society, back in 2013, but we can assure you these two new bottlings are well worth waiting for.
Cask No. 130.2: Tropical thunder will shower you with characteristics from our Spicy & Sweet flavour profile. Tropical fruits, honey, ginger marmalade and Chinese 5-spice – this whisky has it all going on!
In the Young & Spritely profile, Cask No. 130.3: Bamboo wood and cherry blossom boasts huge flavours and complexity for its age. Matured in a bourbon barrel before being transferred to a Pinot Noir barrique, cola cubes, tangy sweets and chocolate orange will hit your nose before sherry, sweet rose wine and grappa shine through on the palate.
We expect these rare Japanese gems to be in huge demand, so please be aware that they may disappear quickly, and will be strictly limited to one per member. We urge those lucky enough to get one to crack it open and enjoy – we don’t want to see them in an auction!
