The Ghost Series #23C is a "marriage" of the whiskies used in A and B, which was then finished for an additional ten months in Umeshu (plum liqueur) casks. This finishing period imparts a vibrant, floral elegance to the spirit, showcasing lush notes of cherry compote, baked apricot, and Parma violets. The palate is decadently sweet with hints of maple syrup and pancakes, eventually giving way to a bright, citrusy finish that balances the richness of the blend. 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. 61% ABV. 50ml. 1/2 pours available.
