THE KATANA’S EDGE
A malt of stunning impact; a rogue flash of umami cuts through the savoury sweetness. Finished in a combination of ex-Kanosuke Japanese Whisky and ex-Pinot Noir Casks.
A moonlit glint of sleek steel flashes, a stunning presence in the sweet calmness of the night. Swiftly the katana, a sword crafted with complexity and precision, pierces the depths of darkness, revealing the bold mysteries of the midnight hour. Wielded with astonishing skill, it shines as a symbol of elegance and craftsmanship.

Tasting Notes
Nose
Mild and fresh, the nose unfurls with ripe melon and pear, like boiled sweets dusted with icing sugar, then fruit pastilles and jellies. Subtle leather and spice lend a savoury backbone. A drop of water dries the sweetness yet keeps the fruit alive, revealing delicate almond and pencil shavings.
Palate
Rich, thick and smoothly mouth-filling in texture, with a deep, fruity and rich taste that is at once sweet and gently savoury. Lively throughout, it has an appealing dry spiciness. A dash of water softens it and brings up the sweet fruity note, which is now richer still.
Finish
Long, dry, spicy and warm of heart, with a lingering sweet-savoury intensity and a fruity aftertaste that is lightly mouth-cooling. More savoury character emerges if a drop of water is added.
