Kura Japanese Whisky Sherry Cask Finish

On the nose, Kura Sherry Cask Finish offers a layered bouquet of dried fig, raisin, honey, and dark cherry, with subtle hints of roasted almond and sandalwood. The palate is smooth and full-bodied, showing flavors of sherried fruit, caramel, toasted oak, and spice, with an undercurrent of malt sweetness and umami complexity from its Japanese roots. The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of spiced plum, cocoa, and wine-soaked wood. Best enjoyed neat to appreciate its intricate balance, though it also responds beautifully to a splash of water, which reveals additional notes of dried citrus and soft oak tannin. A standout for fans of sherried malts and those exploring the evolving world of Japanese whisky.
