Iwai Tradition is a blended Japanese whisky from the Mars Shinshu distillery in Nagano, bottled at 40% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It has no age statement. The blend combines malt and grain whiskies, matured mainly in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks. It is non-chill filtered and carries a very light peat influence. The nose is clove spice and wildflower honey, with a faint earthy note, nougat and milk chocolate. On the palate it is smooth and malt-led, with caramel, toffee, honey and a little chocolate, plus some dried fruit from the sherry casks. The finish is long, with lingering toffee and a trace of warm spice.

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.
