{"title":"Shunka Shuto","description":"\u003cp\u003eShunka Shuto is a Japanese blended whisky brand built around the concept of \"Four Seasons\" (the meaning of its name), offering a collection of four distinct expressions: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. This meticulous approach embodies the artistry and deep connection to nature central to Japanese distilling. Each whisky in the collection is a blend of high-quality malt and grain whiskies, typically aged in used Bourbon (white oak) barrels and bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV). The core mission of the brand is to capture the unique essence, climate, and traditional culture associated with each season in Japan, making the collection a journey through the country’s annual cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe collection features distinct flavor profiles for the warmer seasons. The Spring edition is the most light and mild, designed to reflect the soft climate and cherry blossoms. Its tasting notes include a delicate blend of pear, fruity notes, and biscuits, offering a refreshing and easy-drinking profile. In contrast, the Summer expression is reminiscent of warm, fragrant days. It delivers a profile of vanilla and fresh sweetness, complemented by notes of summer florals and sun-ripened fruits like apricot, with a smooth, bright finish. These two whiskies represent the lighter, more floral and fruit-forward side of the brand's portfolio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Autumn and Winter whiskies provide a richer, deeper experience as the year cools. The Autumn edition, known for having a high malt ratio, offers complexity with flavors of lemon, apple, and a slightly sweet, woodsy undertone. Finally, the Winter blend is the richest and most powerful, designed for sipping on cold nights. It presents an aroma of deep caramel and warm wood, leading to a palate rich with strong maltiness, toffee, and subtle spice, creating a warm and comforting texture. Overall, Shunka Shuto offers a unique and contemplative whisky experience, celebrating the ever-changing beauty of the Japanese landscape through its blended spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"shunka-shuto-summer-edition-japanese-blended-whisky-750ml","title":"Shunka Shuto Summer Edition Japanese Blended Whisky 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eShunka Shuto Summer Edition is a Japanese Blended Whisky designed to reflect the light and vibrant energy of the summer season in Japan.
