Since its inception, The Shin Group has made Japanese alcohol products its main focus, pushing out some of the finest creations. Crafted by Mr. Ken Usami, the master blender of Shinobu Distillery, each bottle of Shin whisky is the perfect balance between woody flavours and the incense of sandalwood. With ‘Shin’ standing for ‘integrity’, this indulgent blend of bold aged maltiness has a harmonious mix of sweet spices, capturing the hearts of many over the years.
The strength of Shin Whisky lies in the variety of blends and bottles available to those who drink it. You can try Shin Whisky Umeshu, a plum-based liqueur with sweet notes of citrus and vanilla. Shin Whisky Umeshu is blended with shochu, a rice-based drink, and notes of wood are mixed throughout. If you are a dedicated and experienced whisky drinker, try the Shin Pure Malt Whisky, a beverage masterfully crafted by Ken Usama. The Shin Pure Malt has a hint of hazelnut and a woody note on the nose, with the sweet aroma of vanilla and spicy sandalwood complementing the hint of spice that’s bound to hit your palate when you take a sip. Alternatively, you might like to try the Shin Blended Whisky Serene, an aromatic blend of orange peel, pepper, honey and spices on the nose; citrus and vanilla on the palate; and peaches and almonds to finish. Whatever your taste buds enjoy, there is sure to be a blend of Shin Whisky to suit your fancy.

Yes, The Shin Group is a Japanese whisky distribution company. Each bottle of Shin Whisky is brewed and distilled in the Japanese coastal region of Niigata, on the west coast of the country. This area of Japan is also known for its three white treasures; snow, rice and sake.
This is probably because most Japanese distilleries adhere to the Scotch methods of making whisky. And when it comes to Japanese whiskies like The Shin Malt whisky, the incense flavour of Mizunara Oak sandalwood and the bold maltiness that it boasts is perhaps one of the main reasons why it is often said to be one of the best Japanese whiskies in the world.
As with any Japanese whisky, it is best to drink it neat or on the rocks so that you can best experience its complete flavours. When it comes to the right accompaniments, Japanese whisky pairs well with Japanese food. For tips and information on Japanese whisky as such The Shin, check out our complete whisky buying guide.
