Meiyo Pure Malt 15 Year Old Japanese Whisky

About Meiyo Pure Malt 15 Year Old Japanese Whisky

This producer’s first malt whisky expression is aged in Japan in ex-bourbon casks. Much like the Pure Malt REI, this Meiyo 15 has the same tropical fruity notes, smoothness with no alcohol burn, and little to no peat. This age statement delivers much more depth of complexity due to the 15 years spent in Japan in ex-bourbon casks. 

The nose is woody, yet tropical, and the palate is an initial dip into heavy oak before quickly moving into a lasting tropical fruit and pineapple flavor that remains dominant until the finish. This pure malt follows the success of their Meiyo 17, this time producing a pure malt as opposed to a single grain.

About Japanese Whisky

Although maybe not be the first Spirit you would think of when Japan is mentioned; the Japanese make one of the best types of whisky in the world. It’s heavily influenced by scotch but with smoother and delicate notes.

The history of the Japanese whisky is not even a century old, but in this short time, the Japanese blended and single malts have taken over the world by storm and can easily go against their whisk(e)y counterparts from across the globe.
