Sourced from the prestigious \u003cstrong data-start=\"451\" data-end=\"474\"\u003eShizuoka Distillery\u003c\/strong\u003e and released in Blackadder's uncompromising \u003cstrong data-start=\"519\" data-end=\"531\"\u003eRaw Cask\u003c\/strong\u003e style, this bottle is all about transparency, provenance, and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"607\" data-end=\"989\"\u003eThe whisky was distilled on \u003cstrong data-start=\"639\" data-end=\"655\"\u003eJune 28, 2018\u003c\/strong\u003e , and bottled on \u003cstrong data-start=\"672\" data-end=\"691\"\u003eAugust 1, 2023\u003c\/strong\u003e , after maturation in a \u003cstrong data-start=\"715\" data-end=\"733\"\u003ebourbon barrel\u003c\/strong\u003e . It was bottled at a robust \u003cstrong data-start=\"768\" data-end=\"785\"\u003e63.8% ABV\u003c\/strong\u003e , straight from \u003cstrong data-start=\"804\" data-end=\"822\"\u003ecask number 740\u003c\/strong\u003e , without filtration or dilution. Limited to just \u003cstrong data-start=\"883\" data-end=\"898\"\u003e223 bottles\u003c\/strong\u003e , this bottling immediately becomes the domain of serious enthusiasts and collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"991\" data-end=\"1438\"\u003eOn the nose, this Shizuoka is remarkably clean and layered: clear malt notes, vanilla, coconut, and lightly toasted oak, supported by a fresh, almost mineral tension. On the palate, it's powerful yet controlled, with an oily texture, concentrated grains, woody spices, and a long, dry finish where the bourbon barrel leaves its clear mark. Everything is intense, yet nothing is overdone—this is precision in its raw form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"1440\" data-end=\"1711\"\u003e As with every \u003cstrong data-start=\"1455\" data-end=\"1478\"\u003eBlackadder Raw Cask,\u003c\/strong\u003e visible cask residue is not a coincidence, but a deliberate choice. It underscores that this whisky was bottled exactly as it left the cask, without embellishment or correction. Each bottle is therefore a unique moment, captured in glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"1713\" data-end=\"2070\"\u003eBesides its distinct tasting profile, this bottling also has clear \u003cstrong data-start=\"1790\" data-end=\"1819\"\u003ecellaring and collector's appeal\u003c\/strong\u003e . Shizuoka single malts, especially in \u003cstrong data-start=\"1853\" data-end=\"1865\"\u003eRaw Cask\u003c\/strong\u003e versions, with limited editions and high alcohol strength, are becoming increasingly scarce and often quickly disappear from the open market. This type of bottle is not being replicated, but is gradually disappearing from collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2072\" data-end=\"2246\"\u003e This \u003cstrong data-start=\"2077\" data-end=\"2105\"\u003eBlackadder Shizuoka 2018\u003c\/strong\u003e fits perfectly into a selection that opts for integrity, scarcity and future value — a permanent pillar within our \u003cem data-start=\"2227\" data-end=\"2245\"\u003eCave of Alibaba\u003c\/em\u003e .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"2248\" data-end=\"2328\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"2248\" data-end=\"2328\" data-is-last-node=\"\"\u003eRaw, precise and scarce — a Japanese single malt with enduring relevance.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"whisky'z","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56229672649036,"sku":null,"price":319.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4937\/1980\/files\/b8448aff-bc3e-4ea2-a513-e1380fa6ed43.jpg?v=1765691253","url":"https:\/\/whiskyz.be\/products\/blackadder-raw-cask-shizuoka-2018-2024","provider":"whisky'z","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
