Ryuka Early Summer 2026 is a cask-strength Japanese single malt from Shinzato Distillery in Okinawa, made with British malted barley and bottled at 58% ABV. It was distilled in March 2023 and bottled in April 2026. Maturation took place in a refill Oloroso sherry awamori cask and a Spanish virgin oak cask. Okinawa's subtropical climate gives strong cask influence over a short maturation. The nose is mellow, with cinnamon, sweet azuki paste, toffee and a touch of fresh honeydew melon. The mouthfeel is creamy, leading to a smooth, long finish of dense caramel syrup.

About Glenbotal

The idea of Glenbotal came to us naturally: as whisky lovers, we were always on the lookout for new experiences in the whisky world. That’s why we created Glenbotal and became our very own first customers. We buy unique and hard to find spirits from ballots and private collections. Then, we share them with a small circle of friends and people who can appreciate a good dram.
