LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

“

The whisky that proved grain isn't just filler. It is a masterclass in texture and sweetness, offering a totally unique experience that bridges the gap between Bourbon and Scotch.

The Library Note

Masataka Taketsuru imported two Coffey stills from Scotland to Japan in the 1960s. Unlike modern column stills, these old continuous stills retain more flavor from the grain (mostly corn). The result is a whisky that tastes more like a bourbon-scotch hybrid—rich, creamy, and undeniably delicious.

Sommelier's Perspective

Tropical and sweet. Aromas of mango, papaya, and coconut with hints of vanilla.
