Thank you for your continued patronage of Azabujuban BAR Shinkai aka Hidden Lounge.
Today we are pleased to announce the arrival of “Single Malt Komagatake IPA Cask Finish Bottled in 2021”, a new limited release from Hombo Shuzo.
Finished in empty barrels aged India Pale Ale (IPA)
This single malt whisky is a single malt whisky finished in empty barrels in which India Pale Ale (IPA), a medium- dark beer brewed at the Minami Shinshu Beer Komagatake Brewery using an abundance of hops, has been laid to rest. It has a refreshing citrus and herbal aroma derived from hops, a clear sweetness reminiscent of grapefruit and orange, and a crisp bitter finish, making it an excellent match for a highball.
