Sensory Description:

Baller Single Malt Whiskey captivates the senses with its clear, crisp malt profile and an underlying smoothness enhanced by delicate maple charcoal smoke. The whiskey is aged in a mix of bourbon and French oak wine casks, then finished in house-made umeshu (Japanese plum liqueur) casks, adding layers of tropical, sherry-like notes. The aroma is ethereal with hints of cherry and fruit steeped in alcohol, complemented by balsamic undertones. On the palate, it is incisive and penetrating, offering a dry yet captivating structure.
