2021 Ultimate Spirits Challenge

Shibui Pure Malt Japanese Blended Whisky (Japan), 43% abv, $66.99, 750 ml

85
Very Good,
Strong Recommendation

Tasting Note:

A complex and expressive nose of sunbaked straw, grilled pineapple, roasted fig, burnt honey, and pine nut. The palate gives way to charred citrus and dense Douglas fir. While certainly peppery there in an undaunted spry energy that persists into the finish.
