Deadline-driven MAEN JAPANESE WHISKY 12YR 86

Maen, which translates to "the perfect circle", is made under the guiding principles of Zen in which the closed circle symbolizes perfection. This philosophy states that once the circle is drawn, it does not change. Once the whisky is made, it does not change. It evidences the character of its creator in a perfectly fluid, continuous period of time. Maen is made in a region of Japan where the purest spring water, the highest quality ingredients and the humid subtropical climate make the perfect environment for distilling and aging Japanese whisky. Maen Japanese Whisky offers three expressions; a blended Japanese whisky, an 8 year old blended pure malt whisky and a luxurious 12 year old blended pure malt whisky. Maen, the Perfect Circle Whisky.

Tasting Notes:
Nose: Alluring aromas of macadamia nut, cocoa powder, baking spices and charred oak. Palate: Indulgently rich, full and powerful. A smoky and moderate acidity delightfully tempered by the essence of vanilla malt. The finish is divine, offering up lingering notes of black tea and chocolate brownie.
