Step into the world of this non chill filtered whisky selected by Kazuya Yoshii, Yazuka Burn Amahagan World Blended whisky. Distilled at Nagahama Distillery and then produced at a 47% strength.
Kazuya Yoshii is one of the best rock musicians in Japan. In 2021, he produced another installment to the original whisky series YAZUKA. “BURN" embodies the peak of The Yellow Monkeyand perfectly captures the alluring and manly charm of Mr. Yoshii. To enhance the intense nature of this song with whisky, we concentrated on a process known as "charring." The process of "charring" involves setting a barrel's interior on fire, which encourages the elution of the barrel's woody components. This time, the workers at Nagahama Distillery "charred" the barrels used for post-ripening.
Burnt caramel and vanilla are among the top notes in this vivid amber hue whisky. The smell is sweet and aromatic, resembling blood orange pound cake, with hints of walnuts and nuts from the sherry barrels. The flavor is further intensified by the smoky, bonfire-like character aftertaste. Tastes like smoked or gunpowder smoke, with a woody, strong flavor generated from barrels. This gives off a fuller, more subdued impression when combined with the sweet flavors of vanilla and honey. The aftertaste has a melancholic overall feeling due to the combination of red fruits and a smoky flavor with a strong gain, just likethe song.
"BURN" has a powerful flavor with all the energy of a blazing flame. Those with extreme physical strength and desire should definitely try this whisky. Take caution not to consume excessive amounts of alcohol. This elegant whisky comes from Nagahama Distillery, which was born in the warm, loving climate of Lake Biwa and is brimming with Kazuya Yoshii's flavor.
