Teeling 15 Year Old Japanese Edition - Explorers Series Blended Whiskey

70cl / 46.00% - This bottle might be missing a box or have a torn label, but the liquid inside is all good.Teeling's Explorers Series is all about discovering unique whiskey profiles that celebrate a country's character. Here Teeling takes inspiration from Japanese drinks culture, bringing us a 15 year old whiskey that has spent four of those years maturing in mugi shochu casks.Mugi shochu is a Japanese spirit distilled from fermented barley.
