Kensei Pure Malt 3 Years epitomizes the evolution of skill and technology in Japanese whisky production, catapulting it to unparalleled distinction in quality and sensory delight in a very short time. Despite its limited maturation, this whiskey has rested patiently in oak barrels before bottling.
Some argue that the climate, intertwined with the Japanese way of life, gestate the distinctive profile of Japanese elixirs. The resulting spirits are irresistibly appealing to balanced, gentle and sophisticated palates, the fruit of fermentation and distillation processes.
Kensei perfectly embodies these parameters by blending select Japanese whiskies aged in small oak barrels in a picturesque village between Kanagawa and the majestic Nagano Mountains.
The Kiyokawa distillery is nestled in an idyllic Japanese valley near the Nagano Mountains, a fertile land of orchards and rolling hills. Perhaps these peculiarities give Kensei whiskies their exceptional refinement and enjoyment.
