our tasting notes
Nose
Spicy and rich but well balanced. Floral tones and spiced oak mix imperceptibly with citrus fruits and vanilla hints.
Taste
Deep and full-bodied. Packed with oak-spices, pepper, cinnamon, and cloves alongside orange rind, dried fruits all balanced out with an almost-caramel sweetness that permeates throughout.
Finish
Long, warm, and fruity with a fading spiciness.
about
The award-winning From the Barrel blend features whiskies distilled from both the Miyagikyo and Yoichi distilleries. It is bottled at 51.4% making it cask-strength and features whiskies from a huge variety of casks, including bourbon barrels, sherry butts and refill hogsheads.
It is a blend of the highest quality, well-balanced, complex, warming, and smooth. It is also wonderfully presented in a square medicine-style bottle complete with simple grey label. It does benefit from a little water if you want to get all the flavours out.
From the Barrel is also everything you want from a Japanese whisky. One expert has commented that “it smells of Japan… smells like old wooden Japanese houses.” We haven’t spent as long as Japan as her, but we wouldn’t disagree.
