The location of this distillery is also the birthplace of their business Hombo Shuzo Co. more than 100 years ago.  The name tells you this single malt is distilled and matured at Tsunuki, and this is its 3rd release after Tsunuki The First and Tsunuki Peated.  Beautiful pure water is used, and the natural environment with day and night-time temperature change has considerable and unique influence on this whisky.  The majority of this single malt was matured in bourbon barrels. It has an amber colour. On the nose, there's a fresh sweetness such as lemon cake, black tea and a whiff of smoke at first, followed by cacao, azuki beans, buttered toast and milk candy. Bitter and sweet fruitiness like Orangette on palate, and the finish is long and complex with generous sweetness. This whisky is non-chill filtered to enhance the flavours.

Made in Niigata, SHINOBU (meaning Forbearance in Japanese) Whisky is hand crafted by the creative master blender, Mr. Usami, by carefully selecting whisky from different distilleries which are first reserved in ex-sherry and ex-bourbon casks and then finished in precious Japanese Mizunara oak. The blended expression contains 50% malt and 50% grain. The result is a unique fusion of flavours across the palate, and nose, of butter, mint, grass, wood, sweet coconut, hints of Chinese incense, sandalwood, and vanilla.
