Masahiro Pure Malt 12 Year Old Sherry Cask (70cl)

Masahiro Pure Malt 12 Year Old is a Japanese malt whisky from Masahiro Distillery in Okinawa, made with malted barley selected from regions around the world. The distillery's history goes back to 1883. The whisky spent at least 11 years in American oak ex-bourbon hogshead casks, then 12 months in first-fill Oloroso sherry casks before bottling. Okinawa's sub-tropical climate lets the spirit draw flavour from the oak at a faster rate. It comes in a 70cl bottle. The aroma is citrus. On the palate there are malt syrup, almonds and toasty bread, followed by a lingering nutty finish.
