Whisky Edition Nr. 5 Sherry Cask Finish by Amahagan is a spirit that embodies Japanese craftsmanship, the result of refined processing in the heart of Miyazaki Prefecture. This whisky stands out for its long aging in oak barrels, with particular attention to the final passage in casks previously used for Sherry, imparting complexity and deep aromatic hints.

On the nose, intense notes of dried fruit, such as figs and nuts, emerge, accompanied by spicy and vanilla hints, a sign of careful maturation and talent in the use of wood. The palate is rich and enveloping, with a balance between sweetness, soft tannins, and a slight touch of candied orange, making the tasting sophisticated and persistent. The texture is velvety, ideal for those who appreciate whisky with character and complexity without sacrificing freshness.

A perfect whisky to sip neat or with a dash of water, it also pairs well with dishes based on aged cheeses or flavored white meats, thus enhancing the sensory experience with a touch of oriental elegance.
