Why do we love this whisky?
Upon pouring, you’ll notice its deep golden hue, which invites you to explore further. The nose is a delightful blend of rich aromas—think dried fruits like figs and raisins, intertwined with notes of honey, vanilla, and a hint of floral elegance. There’s also an intriguing layer of spice that adds depth, possibly cinnamon or a touch of nutmeg.
As you take your first sip, you’ll be captivated by the velvety mouthfeel and the harmonious combination of flavours. Expect a tapestry of tastes: creamy toffee, caramelised fruits, and a delicate smokiness that lingers gently on the palate. The influence of the sherry cask aging becomes apparent, adding layers of richness and complexity.
The finish is wonderfully long and warming, with lingering notes of dark chocolate and a hint of oak, making it an ideal whisky to savor slowly. Whether enjoyed neat, with a splash of water, or over a single cube of ice, Masahiro 12 Year Pure Malt is perfect for those who appreciate a well-crafted whisky that tells a story with every sip.
This expression is an excellent choice for both seasoned whisky lovers and those new to the world of Japanese malts, offering a delightful introduction to the complexities of this celebrated category.

The subtropical climate environment enables whisky to extract flavours from oak barrels at a faster rate, creating unique fruity flavour that Masahiro whisky own.
This unique Ryukyu whisky spent at least 11 years in America oak ex-bourbon hogshead casks and finished in first filled oloroso sherry casks for 12 months before bottling. This whisky reflects the dedication of Japanese craftsmanship and Masahiro Distillery’s over 140 years history dating back to 1883.
