Pot Still W is a bold and distinctive whisky, crafted from 100% imported barley—a first for Shizuoka Distillery. It features 70% peated Scottish malt, 20% non-peated Scottish malt, and 10% German beer malt, matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and new American oak barrels. The nose reveals an intriguing estery profile with notes of nail polish, oil paint, and almond essence, layered over earthy peat and brass polish. Fresh aromas of juniper, lemon peel, and garden herbs add brightness, with subtle floral accents appearing over time. On the palate, the peat takes center stage, balanced by a malty sweetness, smoked lemons, and peaches. The flavors evolve, offering darker caramelized tones alongside brighter herbal nuances. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering peaty smoke, black pepper, hints of salted licorice, and a zesty touch of lemon juice. Pot Still W is a robust and smoky expression, perfect for those seeking bold and memorable flavors.
