Tasting Notes

The Hakata 10 Year Old Sherry Cask is a fascinating Japanese whisky from Hikari Shuzo. Think dark fruit and a hint of umami; the sherry cask influence brings rich raisin notes, while the koji fermentation adds a savory depth, almost like a sweet soy sauce. It's not your typical easy-drinking Japanese whisky, with a slightly metallic finish adding to its unique character. At 42% ABV, it packs a surprising amount of flavor. Definitely one for those who enjoy exploring off-the-beaten-path drams.
