Ghost Series #23A was matured for nearly four years in new American oak puncheons, resulting in the most robust and wood-forward profile of the collection. It delivers an intense aromatic experience of dried persimmon and vanilla pastry cream, which transitions into a palate heavy with toasted coconut and roasted marshmallows. The experience is rounded out by a long, warming finish defined by classic baking spices like cinnamon and clove. The man behind the Ghost Series is Stefan van Eycken, a Belgian-born writer and musician who moved to Japan in 2000. He is widely considered one of the world's leading authorities on Japanese whisky. 64% ABV. 50ml 1/2 pour available
