Hatozaki Finest Japanese Whisky is an elegant blend produced by the Kaikyo Distillery, which skillfully combines malt and grain whiskies aged in a variety of casks, including bourbon, sherry, and Mizunara oak. This blend is designed to showcase the subtlety and complexity of Japanese whisky-making, balancing traditional techniques with a modern approach.
On the nose, Hatozaki Finest presents a gentle array of aromas, with hints of vanilla, floral notes, and a touch of sea breeze, reflecting its coastal distillery origins. The palate is smooth and well-rounded, offering flavors of honey, citrus, and a slight nuttiness, complemented by the deeper, richer undertones of dried fruit and subtle oak from its varied cask aging. The finish is clean and slightly sweet, with a lingering trace of spice and wood.
