Non-age statement; aged in ex-sherry casks
An umami forward nose of mushroom, sea salt, and blackberry fruit leather speaks strongly of sherry cask maturation; richly textured and brimming with berry compote along with notes of pear, dry leather, and white pepper on a long, complex finish.

Texturally robust and aromatically refined, Fukano’s Sherry Cask whisky feels and tastes downright luxurious. Bottled in celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Fukano Distillery, this momentous release is a one-time commemorative bottling, so get it while you can!
