KAIZEN 02 - SHINOBI
Introducing Kaizen - an exclusive trilogy where Swedish whisky meets Japanese tea. A fusion of craftsmanship and passion from different continents, where the whiskey has been aged in ex-bourbon casks saturated with exclusive Japanese tea. Three teas have resulted in three complex whiskies with exciting flavor notes. Kaizen 02:
Volume: 70 cl / Alc: 45,1%
Limited to 2542 bottles.
Limited Edition
The aftertaste is long and varied in character. There are hints of oriental spices, minerals and slightly bitter tea and barrel notes. After a while, the sweet chocolate and nuts return, along with fresh fruits. Main constituent barrels
Nose
The aroma is sweet with notes of chocolate, honey and marzipan. Some fruit sweetness, like pineapple, is also there. Behind the sweet facade, light citrus tones up along with mineral-rich tea notes.
Finish
Palate
The taste is still predominantly sweet but now with a clearer nut character, like roasted chestnut. The citrus becomes a little clearer, as do the notes of tea. Sometimes there is a taste of popcorn. The whisky has an oily mouthfeel that gives it a full body.
