Meiyo Single Grain 17 Year Old Japanese Whisky – Aged Japanese Grain Whisky (750ml, 42% ABV)

Taste Notes: Meiyo Single Grain 17 Year Old Japanese Whisky offers a sophisticated aroma of sweet vanilla, creamy caramel, and rich honey, intertwined with delicate notes of ripe orchard fruits (apple, pear), white flowers, and a subtle cereal grain character. The extended aging contributes a refined oak influence, often hints of sandalwood or polished wood. On the palate, it is exceptionally smooth and elegant, with a delicate yet persistent flavor. Sweet vanilla, butterscotch, and honey lead, complemented by soft fruit, a gentle spice, and a very clean, ethereal grain profile. The long maturation ensures a remarkable smoothness and integration of flavors. The finish is long, clean, and incredibly smooth, with lingering sweet vanilla, a touch of oak, and a subtle fruity elegance.

Food Pairings: This refined and smooth Japanese single grain whisky is ideal for contemplative sipping. It pairs beautifully with delicate desserts like crème brûlée, panna cotta, or light fruit tarts. It also complements white chocolate or mild, creamy cheeses. For savory pairings, consider it with delicate sashimi or white fish, allowing its subtle nuances to be appreciated without being overwhelmed.
