Review: Fukano Chizuru Japanese Whisky

Products You May Like

As importer ImpEx tells us, “This small batch launch of Fukano Whisky (restricted to 3000 bottles, although it’s available) has been created in collaboration with Women Who Whiskey membership to have fun the profession of Chizuru Fukano,” who’s the previous and not too long ago retired Managing Director of Fukano Distillery. This 100% rice whisky is matured in a mix of refill bourbon, Manzanilla sherry, and purple wine casks. No age assertion offered.

Outcomes are strong, although you’ll need some familiarity with rice whiskies earlier than delving into this to keep away from too many surprises. To begin with, issues are quiet on the nostril, however slightly toasty and warming, with notes of sesame oil, some citrus, and a touch of florals making a quiet look. Issues are a bit gritty on the palate, notes of bitter lemon, some barrel char, and a lingering wine character making an look, albeit in considerably haphazard style. Chewy nougat and almond notes comprise the majority of the in any other case easy midpalate, whereas some honeydew melon notes on the end are essentially the most Japanese a part of the expertise.

82 proof.
