✦ Neatly Summary

Nagahama (cask 0137) Sake Cask is a single malt from Nagahama (Japan), bottled at 57.5% ABV. Expect fruity, sweet and floral character — yeasty, fresh fruit, fragant, honey. Best suited for experienced drinkers who enjoy bold, complex whiskies. A collector's expression at a premium price point.

Nagahama's cask 0137 matured three years in bourbon before finishing in a sake cask that held Junmai Daiginjo, imparting Japanese whisky's characteristic purity with sake's subtle sweetness and umami undertones. The sake cask influence adds floral, herbal, and delicate fruity notes atypical of bourbon or sherry-finished whiskies, creating an aromatic profile distinctly aligned with Japanese whisky philosophy. This is an exploration of cask influence for adventurous drinkers seeking flavors beyond traditional Scotch finishing practices.
