A Symphony of Potential Flavors

While specific details about the casks used remain a guarded secret, the age of this whisky hints at a potentially exceptional and complex flavor profile. Expect a spirit that has had ample time to develop a rich and well-rounded character, with layers of flavor influenced by meticulous cask selection. Here’s a glimpse of what you might encounter:

• Sherry Cask Influence (possible): Expect a nose filled with aromas of dried fruits like raisins, figs, and prunes, interwoven with hints of toffee, marzipan, and a touch of cocoa. Deeper notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves might emerge, hinting at the complex flavors to come on the palate. The taste could offer a burst of sweetness with hints of honey, vanilla, and caramel, balanced by a subtle oaky dryness and a touch of spice from the sherry cask.

• Ex-Bourbon Cask Influence (possible): If matured in an ex-bourbon cask, expect a sweeter and more vanilla-forward nose. Hints of toasted oak, baking spices, and citrus zest might also be present. The palate could offer notes of vanilla, butterscotch, and caramel, alongside hints of dried fruit and a touch of peppery spice.

Regardless of the specific casks used, the Hibiki 35 Year Old Kutani Decanter promises a truly unique and unforgettable tasting experience.
