There are only 100 bottles available. The liquid within contains white oak-aged whisky from 1964 and mizunara-aged whisky distilled in 1960. The packaging, as expected, is also very special. From the engraved characters on the bottle only the ’55’ is filled with gold dust and lacquer. The bottle mouth is wrapped in a traditional, handmade Echizen Washi with a braided cord and the bottle comes in a black Mizunara oak box. Notes: Aromas of agarwood and sandalwood come from the long maturation in mizunara, while the palate delivers sweetness and some bitter notes before turning woody and rich, followed by a long, rich bitterness.
