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 Girls Who Whiskey membership to rejoice the profession of Chizuru Fukano,” who’s the previous and lately retired Managing Director of Fukano Distillery. This 100% rice whisky is matured in a mixture 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 start out with, issues are quiet on the nostril, however a little bit 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 trend. Chewy nougat and almond notes comprise the majority of the in any other case simple midpalate, whereas some honeydew melon notes on the end are probably the most Japanese a part of the expertise.
82 proof.
