Have Any Questions?
What makes “virgin white oak” special?
Unlike ex-bourbon or sherry barrels, virgin white oak is unused and uncharred, offering a purer, more intense wood character with a unique flavor profile.
Is this sweeter or spicier than other Shibui expressions?
It leans more toward spice and structure, with a dry, wood-driven finish and a slightly bolder taste.
How does this compare to Scotch or bourbon?
It bridges the elegance of Japanese whisky with the boldness of oak influence typically found in well-aged bourbons.
Is it a limited release?
Yes — this expression is released in small batches and can be difficult to find outside of specialty retailers.
