SHINOBU
SHINOBU Japanese Single Malt Whisky KIHEI
Crafted with the intensity and harmony that define the Shinobu Distillery, Shinobu Single Malt Kihei is a bold and balanced expression from the heart of Niigata Prefecture. Distilled by second-generation master Usami Tatsuya, this single malt is aged in a hand-selected trio of casks: Bourbon, Sherry, and Hogshead. The result is a richly layered whisky that unfolds with notes of dried fruit, spice, and a whisper of oak.
Inspired by the legacy of Kihei, a symbol of monk-like devotion and warrior strength, this expression honors enduring leadership, inner resolve, and unwavering spirit. From the land of snow and sake, Shinobu Kihei invites you to experience a journey of balance, tradition, and power in every sip.
