About this whisky
- Malt type: Blended
- Region: Japan
Introducing the Ocean Whisky SP, a special blend with a rich heritage. It offers a robust strength of 43.0% Vol. and is presented in a unique 760 ml size, labeled under the Sanraku Ocean brand.
Crafted by Sanraku Oceans Co, this Japanese blend is a tapestry of legacy and rarity, containing malt from the esteemed Karuizawa distillery and possibly grain whisky from Yamanashi. Both distilleries have ceased operations, with Yamanashi closing its doors in 1969 and Karuizawa following in 2011, which adds an element of exclusivity and historical significance to this whisky.
Ocean Whisky SP is not just a spirit; it's a tribute to the rich tapestry of Japanese whisky craftsmanship. Each bottle holds a blend that is both a collector's piece and a sensory delight, offering a glimpse into the esteemed lineage of two of Japan's most revered distilleries. This blend is a must-have for enthusiasts who appreciate the depth and complexity of a truly rare and special whisky.
