Teeling 15y Japanese Edition 70cl 46°

This new Explorers Series 15-Year-Old Japanese Edition is indeed highly innovative, and pushes the boundaries of Irish whisky craft with the use of rare Mugi Shochu casks. Shochu, a Japanese brandy, is usually made from barley, rice, sweet potatoes or other local ingredients; Mugi Shochu, in particular, is made from barley, which blends particularly well with the profile of Irish single malts.
Aging Irish whisky in Shochu casks is rare, and lends this expression a unique complexity. Shochu casks, particularly those that have contained Mugi Shochu, impart subtle aromas and sweet flavors, bringing umami notes, herbal nuances and a slightly saline profile. Aging in Mugi Shochu casks can soften the flavors and enrich the texture of the whisky, while preserving the distinctive qualities of Irish whiskies: sweetness, lightness and fruitiness.
This fusion of Irish and Japanese styles brings a fresh perspective to this 15-year-old edition, and is perfect for lovers of experimental whiskies and balanced flavors, with a great story behind every sip.
