Product description
Nobushi is a rather mysterious brand of Japanese whisky from the portfolio of Kiyokawa Company Ltd, about which we know just as little (it is distributed by Fraternity Spirits).
Kiyokawa was founded in 1958 and has offices in Tokyo and Hong Kong. The blend's formula remains a secret to the creator, we know that the components come from distilleries located in the Miyagi and Nagano prefectures, they were aged in American oak barrels, the content of grain whisky reaches 80%, and malts account for the remaining 20%. The length of maturation of the ingredients is three to four years. The name of the whisky refers to the order of elite warriors descended from the samurai and passing on their teachings from generation to generation.
