Legent Yamazaki Cask Finish Blend Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

$232.99

Legent™ is a new, distinctive whiskey experience, as well as a new understanding of how learning from others can broaden horizons and push you out of your comfort zone.

Legent™ starts with a historic bourbon recipe from Fred Noe’s family. Every drop is crafted with high-quality grains and calcium-rich, iron-free, limestone water and is aged for at least four years in newly charred white oak barrels.

It’s here that Legent begins to pick up unique flavors from the different casks. Layers of spice and fruity undertones are imparted from the sherry casks, while the red-wine casks lend Legent a light tartness and help punch up the dried fruit flavors.

Shinji Fukuyo takes these distinct, secondary-finished bourbons and meticulously blends them with Kentucky straight bourbon. Blending allows Shinji to balance the different flavors to consistently hit the flavor profile he and Fred originally envisioned.

Together, Fred & Shinji Have Created a Bourbon Like No Other. Legent transcends the broader whiskey category. It’s a perfectly balanced and rounded bourbon that’s also complex and layered. On your palate, it starts like a bourbon – rich, warm and oaky. Then, like a Japanese whisky, it features complex layers and a bright, smooth, unexpectedly long finish.

Nose: The nose opens with enticing aromas of toasted nuts, orchard fruits and spice with a touch of pepper

Palate: The palate follows the nose, complemented by notes of orange, grapefruit peel and sandalwood

Finish: The finish lingers with hints of mint and sesame oil

Description

A masterful collaboration between two whisk(e)y legends; Legent Yamazaki Cask Finish Blend is expertly distilled by Fred Noe, seventh-generation Master Distiller of Jim Beam, bourbon’s pioneering family, and artfully blended by Shinji Fukuyo, Chief Blender of Suntory, the founding house of Japanese whisky. Starting as Kentucky straight bourbon aged for 8 years in Kentucky, this limited edition bourbon then traveled to the outskirts of Kyoto for finishing and blending at the Yamazaki Distillery. Bottled at 114-proof, this unique blend is comprised of a selection of bourbon aged in French oak wine casks and Spanish Oak sherry casks as well as a selection of bourbon aged in Spanish oak sherry casks that were previously used to mature Suntory’s Yamazaki Single Malt Whisky.
