Very lucky indeed to have secured this Japanese gem, reportedly limited to 1246 bottles and sold via lottery in early 2018. It promises a fascinating mix of casks, blended by Kenji Taniguchi including American white oak barrel #382 (distilled 1986), Sherry cask #327 (distilled 1986), Sherry cask #570 (distilled 1988) and Sherry cask #1068 (distilled 1990). Reportedly more than a touch of peat to this, mingling with the sherry sweetness. Very collectible.

Other reviews... A superb Komagatake release for the first part of 2018. The four casks draw an exquisite essence of fruity flavours, some spice and sweetness. To round this off it has a great amount of peat. Kenji Taniguichi has selected amazing casks and blended these to perfection. I was glad to try this at Mars Distillery with Koki-San (Distillery Manager). I appreciated his couple of hours to walk me around Shinshu Distillery and explain to me the many intricacies and exciting facts about Shinshu. - whiskyfacto.com
