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
Colour
Deep amber with coppery glints and honey-gold edges, a moonlit, sherried glow.
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, with a deep, fruity, richly sweet yet gently savoury core. Lively throughout, it carries an appealing dry spice. A dash of water softens the edge and brings up the sweet fruit, now even richer.
Finish
Long, dry and warm, this finish carries a steady spicy heartbeat. A lingering sweet-savoury intensity threads through a fruity aftertaste that cools the palate ever so slightly. A dash of water draws out even more savoury depth.
