츠누키 5년 2018 포 럭키 초이스 더 드래곤 어웨이크스

A Tsunuki whisky selected by Lucky Choice, matured in Sherry Puncheon with a peat level of 50ppm, featuring a deep red label with an Eastern-style dragon design, serves as the first release in "The Dragon Awakes" Japanese whisky series. Future releases in the series will include Akkeshi, Chichibu, Nagahama, and Shizuoka whiskies.Lucky Choice is a group of whisky enthusiasts from Hong Kong, mainland China, and Japan, and this particular version is mainly distributed in mainland China, hence the back label is in simplified Chinese to meet import requirements.

The aroma carries a distinct peatiness, an iodine-like scent, and a smoky, salty fragrance like smoked salami, alongside cinnamon spice. Beneath the smokiness and saltiness lies a syrupy sweetness and a cool hint of mint. On the palate, a burst of sweet and salty flavors, with cinnamon spice, oak, and a trace of sulphur. The finish lingers with a sweet-salty taste, cinnamon notes, and a prolonged impression of charred wood and tar.
