Cask Types

Tasting Notes

Hakata 18 Year is an intriguing Japanese single malt. This whisky isn't your typical crowd-pleaser; it's a sherry-cask aged spirit with a story. Made from 100% barley and fermented with koji, it boasts a dark, almost coffee-like color. Expect an earthy nose with tart dark fruits and a hint of sulfur. The palate is syrupy, nutty, and earthy, with baked cherry notes. It's a complex dram that challenges your senses and rewards patience. If you're seeking something off the beaten path, Hakata 18 Year might just be your whisky.
