Amahagan World Malt Edition No. 2 Red Wine Wood Finish Blended Japanese Whisky (700ml)
Note: Product has come from a private collection and as such may have some minor scuffing/scratches/handling marks. Actual product pictured.
One of the newest and smallest distilleries in Japan, Amahagans first releases only contain a small amount of their own new make spirit. The rest of the blend is sourced from similarly small distilleries Strathearn and Eden Mill, both from Scotland. On the shores of Lake Biwa in Nagahama City, the Amahagan (see what they did there?) World Malt Edition whiskies explore their unique blend from 4 different types of cask maturation or finishing. Numbers 2, 3 and 4 from this series are based on No. 1.
Edition No. 2 is finished in a red wine cask. Showcasing the change in fruit character this process can bring, expect to get much more red fruit influence while still retaining a mild malt driven astringency and citrus peel freshness.
