Ichiro's Malt Wine Wood Reserve Japanese Blended Whisky

Ichiro's Malt Wine Wood Reserve is distinctive and elegant, made from a variety of single malts that have been blended and finished in wine casks made from French oak. This cask type adds a floral and slightly nutty character to the liquid with a sustained fruit character. This is rich with notes of red berries and forest fruits along with candied citrus an white flowers. There is a slight peppery character on the palate with dark chocolate, ginger and red apple before a long and sustained oak spice finish.
