Product details
Fukano Whisky Edition #2223 is a limited-release and rice-based whisky crafted at the Fukano Distillery in Hitoyoshi, Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. Established in 1823, the distillery has a long-standing tradition of producing fine spirits. This expression is made from koji rice whisky aged in a combination of refilled White Oak, Manzanilla Sherry, and French red wine casks, resulting in a unique and complex flavor profile. Bottled at 41.6% ABV, Edition #2223 is limited to 5,670 bottles worldwide, making it a sought-after release for whisky enthusiasts.
On the nose, Edition #2223 presents enticing aromas of sugared plums, mulberry, and fresh rain, complemented by powdered baking spices and hints of root vegetable sweetness. The palate offers a delicate interplay of cherry blossoms, waxed honeysuckle, orchard fruits, and citrus oils, followed by notes of lightly toasted macadamia nuts, butterscotch, and tropical fruit skins. The finish is smooth and creamy, with lingering flavors of ripe plantains, dried wine, and a semi-sweet white chocolate-covered cherry fade. This versatile whisky pairs well with a variety of dishes, including grilled seafood, sushi, and light desserts like mochi or fruit tarts. Whether enjoyed neat or in a classic cocktail, Fukano Whisky Edition #2223 offers a refined and balanced drinking experience.
