FAQs

What is a "Pure Malt" whisky?
Pure Malt (also known as blended malt) is a whisky made entirely from single malt whiskies sourced from multiple distilleries — no grain whisky is included, resulting in a richer, more malt-forward character than a standard blend.

What does the Mizunara finish add?
Mizunara oak imparts unique earthy, incense-like, sandalwood, and coconut notes found nowhere else in the whisky world — adding an unmistakably Japanese dimension to the bourbon and sherry cask foundation.

How does the 10 Year differ from the Shinobu Mizunara Oak expression?
The 10 Year carries a confirmed age statement and a longer maturation period, delivering greater depth, structure, and complexity — making it the more premium and collectible expression in the Shinobu range.
