Aged malt whisky and grain whisky are blended and then restocked (married) so that the different whiskies become familiar with each other. From the Barrel is a unique whisky with an alcohol content of over 51%, which is bottled as it is without the addition of water after 'restocking'. It is characterized by its deep taste and rich aroma.
This ageless version was released in 2016 as a permanent product that showcases the elegant style of Miyagikyo malts. when all age statements were dropped. This bottling has ester aromas generated by carefully selected yeast strains as well as a distinctive Sherry cask influence.

Nose: Fine, balanced. malted barley-like, fruity (green banana, golden apple), acacia honey, exotic (pineapple), spicy (coriander, ginger, black pepper) and herbaceous (chervil, lovage). Then, gradually, medicinal notes (balsam).
Mouth: Lively, taut. Citrus fruits (lemon, grapefruit) provide a dynamic attack. This is followed by a beautiful, almost roasted vanilla sequence (coffee), whose greediness highlights a remarkable sweet/savory balance.
Finish: Long, rich, with aniseed (star anise), vegetal (zucchini flower) and creamy (coconut milk) flavors gradually spreading around the palate.
