Entrepreneur \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Ken Usami \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;has been brewing Niigata Beer in this idyllic location for more than twenty years. And he was \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;the first person \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;to be licensed to distill Whisky in the entire prefecture in 2017. Ever since, he has been sourcing\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; premium Spirits\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; and finishing them in\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; rare, Mizunara oak. \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;These early efforts have been paying off with robust sales and a dozen awards across his product range.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Like its sister vintage drams, \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Shinobu Pure Malt Japanese Whisky\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; has spent most of its time aging in ex-Bourbon and ex-Sherry casks. Then it was finished in those rare and delightfully expensive \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Mizunara oak barrels. \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;It is a blend of 100% malt Spirits, with masterfully balanced profile. But Whisky-lovers will notice the influence of the Mizunara right away — with \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;dense, wood-forward notes.\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;u\u0026gt;Smartass Corner:\u0026lt;\/u\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;The Japanese word “Shonibu” translates roughly as “forbearance,” reflecting one of the qualities of the Samurai Spirit.\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45130194550966,"sku":"15217","price":17.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1251\/9862\/files\/theshinobupuremaltjapanesewhis_15217_01_a5654cba_d75e4c9c-2c95-4186-87c0-ba1bcdebaf04.jpg?v=1779037137","url":"https:\/\/noblebottle.com\/products\/theshinobupuremaltjapanesewhisky-700ml-15217","provider":"noblebottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
