Chiyomusubi Pure Malt Whisky Amarone

Chiyomusubi CRAFT Amarone Cask Finish Pure Malt Japanese Whisky is a distinctive malt whisky produced by Chiyomusubi Brewery in Tottori, Japan. Crafted entirely from malt whisky, it is matured in ex-Port casks before receiving a finishing period in Italian Amarone wine casks. This wine-driven maturation adds an expressive layer of floral aromas, red berries, cranberry, honey, dried fruit, and warming spice to its smooth malt character. Bottled at 43% ABV, it offers a fruit-forward and aromatic profile with the rich influence of Amarone wine.
