Shizuoka 4 Year Old 2019-2023 "Pot Still K" Japanese Wine Cask #1129 Raw Cask by Blackadder Single Malt Japanese Whisky

The Whisky. A limited Raw Cask release by Blackadder from Shizuoka Distillery, distilled March 20, 2019, in the ex-Karuizawa Pot Still K—producing lighter, floral, fruity spirits from 100% Japanese barley—matured in a Japanese wine cask for vinous depth, bottled August 1, 2023, at 64% ABV (unfiltered, uncoloured, cask strength).

Flavour Profile: Combines Pot Still K's elegant botanicals, green apple, citrus peel, vanilla cream, and mineral freshness with wine cask's berry compote, plum, soft tannins, and red fruit sweetness; expect oily viscosity, pear-melon fruits, light spice, honeyed malt, and subtle ashiness in a balanced, youthful power ideal for dilution to reveal hazelnut smoothie notes, faint mint, and refined complexity.
