“Link 8” is a blended sake crafted from multiple types of rice and yeast, with each base sake fermented separately and then aged for 10 months in a selection of Scotch whisky casks before blending.
For this limited edition, a portion of the sake undergoes a finishing maturation in Mizunara oak casks that previously held Chivas Regal, before being blended to complete the expression.
The Mizunara casks are made from Japanese oak trees over 250 years old, native to the Hokkaido and Tohoku regions. Available exclusively at duty-free shops in Japan.
