Nagahama 4 Year Old 2018 (cask 1562) – Sauternes Cask Whisky 50cl

Introducing Nagahama 4 Year Old 2018 (Cask 1562) – Sauternes Cask Whisky 50cl, a rare and exquisite whisky crafted with precision and passion by Nagahama Distillery. This limited edition release promises to tantalize the senses with its complex flavors and smooth finish, making it a must-have addition to any whisky connoisseur’s collection.

At the heart of this exceptional whisky lies a meticulous aging process that takes place in specially selected Sauternes casks. Sauternes, a sweet wine originating from the Bordeaux region of France, imparts its unique characteristics to the whisky, resulting in a delightful marriage of flavors that sets Nagahama apart from the rest.

The journey begins with the selection of only the finest malted barley, sourced from local farms renowned for their quality produce. This barley is carefully mashed and fermented, releasing sugars that will later interact with the Sauternes cask to develop rich and complex flavors.

Following fermentation, the liquid is distilled in traditional copper pot stills, a time-honored method that allows for precise control over the distillation process. The result is a spirit of exceptional purity and clarity, ready to embark on its transformative journey in the cask.

Once filled, the whisky is left to mature in the cool, damp atmosphere of Nagahama’s aging warehouses. Here, it undergoes a slow and gradual transformation, as it absorbs the flavors and aromas of the Sauternes cask. Over the course of four long years, the whisky develops layers of complexity, gaining notes of honeyed apricot, caramelized sugar, and a hint of oak spice.

The nose is greeted with an inviting aroma of ripe orchard fruits, mingling with hints of vanilla and toffee. On the palate, the whisky reveals its full character, with luscious notes of dried apricot, honeycomb, and a subtle hint of cinnamon. The mouthfeel is smooth and velvety, coating the palate with a lingering sweetness that fades into a warm, satisfying finish.
