- Description
- Shinobu (meaning perseverance in Japanese) is a 50/50 marriage of malt and grain whisky finished in Japanese Mizunara oak after initial maturation in sherry and bourbon casks. The result is buttery and woody, with enough structure to anchor a highball yet enough refinement for neat appreciation.
