Ikawa Flora 2024 Japanese Single Malt Whisky 53%ABV 30ml

Flora 2024 is Ikawa's first whisky release in their new Flora & Fauna range. Every year they alternate releasing a Flora or Fauna release; where Flora highlights their unpeated spirit, Fauna showcases their peated spirit. 

Tasting Notes

Nose: The nose offers orange blossom, fresh citrus, pear and light vanilla.

Palate: On the palate you get sweet malt, gentle fruit, a little honey and a soft, rounded mouthfeel, with oak in a supporting role rather than dominating.

Finish: The finish is clean and calm, making this a natural choice for people who prefer elegance over power.

Ikawa Distillery

Founded in 2020, Ikawa Distillery is located 1,200 metres above sea level in Shizuoka’s Southern Alps, making it Japan’s highest altitude whisky maker. Surrounded by pristine forest and drawing on soft spring water filtered through ancient soils, Ikawa crafts whisky shaped by its natural environment, using only oak from their parent company’s forest. Their goal is to create a 12 year age statement as their core range, which should happen in the next eight years.
