Destined to be a classic, this beautifully blended whisky from Eigashima Shuzo is a sherry-cask-finished version of their flagship blended whisky, bottled at a punchy 100-proof (goju translates to “fifty” in reference to the increased ABV). With an average age of 5 years, Goju 50 dances between floral sweetness and dry salinity with gentle smoke.

Gou is a blended Japanese whisky produced by Eigashima Shuzo in Akashi, Japan. Made from a blend of wheat, rye, and malted barley lightly peated to 10ppm, distilled twice in copper pot stills, aged 3 years in a variety of casks (new oak, ex-bourbon, ex-shochu) and finished for approximately 2 years in ex-sherry casks; non-age statement.

Tasting notes: aromas of raisin, smoked sea salt, and vanilla pastry transition to a palate of assertive baking spice and well-integrated sherry with flinty dark chocolate on the finish.
Non-chill filtered; 50% ABV
