The Haiku is a single malt Japanese whisky from Nirasaki Distillery in Yamanashi Prefecture, bottled at 40% ABV.
Its label names a Mizunara cask, the rare Japanese oak prized for sandalwood and incense notes.
It shows malt, caramel, vanilla and oak, with a hint of citrus.
The label pairs bold black-and-gold calligraphy for 'haiku' with a dragon embossed into the glass.
Named for Japan's short, evocative poetic form, The Haiku is a gentle, approachable single malt and an elegant gift for a Japanese whisky fan.
