- Description
- Distilled at Hanyu in 1986 and finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry, this Japanese single malt combines regional subtlety with Spanish oak influence. Initial hogshead maturation developed the spirit's structure, while the PX finish added layers of dried stone fruit and sweet spice. A refined expression that bridges Japanese and European whisky traditions.
