Signatory Vintage Samurai Collection Royal Brackla 2008 Single Sherry Butt Finish #5 Germany Exclusive Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky (2020) 70cl

Limited Edition Samurai Collection from Signatory Vintage.

For more than 700 years, these heroic warriors shaped the image of Japan. Kirsch Import and Signatory Vintage are now transforming them into protectors of good taste: the samurai. A new series of fine bottlings from Andrew Symington's treasure trove of wood has been elevated to the noble warrior status with expressive labels. Each is personalized with illustrated heroic figures, contrasting in black and white with the rays of the "rising sun," as the Japanese military flag is called.

Just as the sword is the soul of the samurai, sherry casks form the heart of the new range. From the heavily smoky Bunnahabhain Staoisha, to the intense mahogany-toned Ben Nevis, and the 12-year-old single malt from Royal Brackla, a distillery that primarily produces blends, to the wonderfully dark Glenlivet from 2006: all of the single malts in the series, bottled exclusively for Kirsch Import, were matured or finished in sherry butts. In keeping with the fighting spirit of their namesakes, the Samurai single malts unfold their dark aromas at cask strengths of up to 62.1% ABV. A matter of honor: these limited-edition Scotch whiskies are neither chill-filtered nor colored (we're so thrilled about this that we've put it on the label twice).

Tough, Punchy Sherry casked dark delights from chosen carefully by Kirsch who are VERY fussy about casks. These have obtained a somewhat cult status due to the artwork blended with the significance & liquid inside also.

Rare and unavailable in the United Kingdom
