Oaksmith Nagomi A Whisky for the Indian Palate

The global appeal of a finely crafted whisky, where Japanese expertise in whisky making produces a liquid expression that has appeal across the country

- 

Whisky whispers of tradition and innovation, carrying centuries of craft within its golden hues. From the rolling barley fields of Scotland to the zen-inspired studios of Japan, whisky embodies a cross-border convergence of techniques and traditions. Each expression tells a tale of artisanal fusion - of oak-casked whispers and malted soul - inviting connoisseurs to explore a world where culture and craft blend in diverse harmony. In India, where festivals brim with flavour and gatherings reflect a rich mosaic of traditions, the newly launched Oaksmith Nagomi is fast becoming the whisky of choice for occasions both intimate and grand, celebrated for its versatility across diverse palates.

Oaksmith Nagomi

Nagomi, the pinnacle of Oaksmith's portfolio from Suntory Global Spirits, reflects the mastery of Chief Blender Shinji Fukuyo, who was honoured as Master Blender of the Year at the International Spirits Challenge 2024. This expression embodies Japanese expertise and global whisky-making mastery, creating a liquid expression of the Japanese philosophy of harmony, a concept deeply woven into its aesthetics and culture. It fuses the richness of aged Scotch malts, the smooth warmth of American bourbons, and the subtle finesse of Japanese blending techniques into a seamless blend of flavors, making it a sensorial celebration for the country's discerning and eclectic tastes.

Appearance and Aroma

At first pour, Nagomi greets the eye with a rich gold appearance, a subtle sign of its refined character. This lustrous hue hints at the depth and complexity awaiting the senses. On the nose, a tantalizing medley of smoky, spicy, and fruity aromas serves as a full-bodied sensation with woody undertones from oak casks, finishing bright, smooth, and surprisingly long, evoking the feeling of a crisp winter evening warmed by a crackling fire.
