History and character
Born at Shinobu Distillery — whose name means 'perseverance' in Japanese — this whisky bears the signature of Ken Usami, who first revolutionised craft beer in Niigata before obtaining the región's first whisky distilling licence in 2017.
The Shin 10 Years transcends mere tasting to offer a deep immersion in Japanese culture. Its exceptional distillation and the exotic whisper of Mizunara oak make it a cult whisky for those who seek to go beyond the Scotch tradition, embracing the art of expert blending and Japanese sensory precisión.
