Fuyu means winter in Japanese and this special winter release is the classic Iwai Tradition finished for 4 months in Japanese chestnut casks. These casks add a subtle sweetness & pleasant bitterness to this inherently rich & malty whisky.

Tasting Notes from the producer:

Brown sugar, maple syrup, and toasty aromas on the nose, gentle tannin works well to bring up the sharpness in the body.  The finish is elegant and long with cacao.

Thanks to two of our lovely customers, N.C. & D.S., we were able to try a sample of this whisky! Our tasting notes…

Cherries and plums, a dash of damp cedar. Smells like fresh rain on a forest floor. The palate is cinnamon raisin bread, apples, and some rich spice. Long mellow flavor, soft and viscous.
