This brilliant Ootori Pure Malt 18 Year Old is a great expression from the Mercian Corporation, who used to own the legendary Karuizawa and Kawasaki distilleries. It was given a finishing period in Mizunara oak that has imparted a delicious range of subtle spices onto the rich and fruity spirit. Well worth trying! *This particular bottling was produced prior to the introduction of Japanese whisky labeling standards in February 2021.*
