【Shinobu Whisky】
Shinobu Whisky, located in Japan’s picturesque Niigata region, is a relatively new whisky producer but it’s quickly gaining attention and acclaim. Shinobu Distillery was founded in 2018 by Mr. Sami Ken, who loves whiskey and has extensive brewing experience. He has over 20 years of brewing experience, having worked for Niigata Brewery, and has put that skill and passion into whisky making, ensuring the product is of the highest quality.
Shinobu Distillery combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship with innovative technology to produce exceptional whiskey. This time, we will take an in-depth look at the background of Shinobu Distillery, its unique selling points, and why it has become a favorite among whisky and wine lovers aged 30-50.
Shinobu Distillery is particularly fond of using Mizunara wood barrels, which are unique to Japan, for aging. Mizunara is a wood native to Japan that brings unique flavors of sandalwood, coconut and oriental spices to whisky. This rare and expensive wood is highly sought after and its use in Shinobu's whiskies adds complexity and depth that sets it apart from other brands. Shinobu Distillery combines traditional Japanese distillation techniques with modern innovation. The distillery's state-of-the-art equipment ensures precision and consistency, while the use of local ingredients and traditional methods preserves the authenticity and tradition of Japanese whisky making.
