Masuizumi Link 8888

Junmai Daiginjo sake in 12-year-old Chivas Regal American oak barrels, after which it’s blended under the expert guidance of Glen Keith Distillery.

This sake is made using Yamadabo, Yamadanishiki, and Kuromai, a kind of brown rice with different kinds of yeast including wine yeast. Each sake was individually aged in American white oak 12+ year ex-Chivas casks, then later blended to create Link 8888.

It has the herbal aroma of wooden barrels, and the taste is unique and rich with the note of honey.
