Product details
Miyashita East Meets West Bourbon Cask Honjozo Genshu showcases the innovative craftsmanship of Miyashita Brewery, a Japanese producer with a century-long heritage in traditional rice-based beverage production. In 2015, marking its 100th anniversary, the company established Okayama Distillery, expanding its expertise into authentic Japanese single malt whisky. This distinctive expression brings together the producer’s traditional foundations and its exploration of Western cask aging, with maturation in bourbon barrels adding a new dimension to its character. Combining the Honjozo style with the bold profile of Genshu and the influence of bourbon cask aging, East Meets West reflects Miyashita’s creative approach to bridging Japanese heritage and Western maturation traditions.
The flavor profile is bold and full-bodied, opening with the natural sweetness of fermented rice and rich notes of vanilla, ripe banana, and charred oak, followed by smooth caramel and toffee flavors. Its layered character balances rice-derived sweetness with deep, barrel-influenced notes. For food pairings, enjoy it alongside lamb chops, chili-garlic prawns, or sautéed wild mushrooms.
