Maen Japanese Whiskey: A Journey to the Perfect Circle of Flavor!
Discover the harmonious blend of tradition and innovation with Maen Japanese Whiskey. The name "Maen" translates to "the perfect circle", a concept rooted in Zen philosophy where a continuous, unchangeable circle, or ensō, symbolizes perfection. This philosophy guides the craftsmanship of the whisky, resulting in a balanced and refined spirit that reflects the artistry of its creation.
Maen is an ultra-premium blended Japanese whisky. It is a harmonious blend of 20% malt whisky and 80% grain whisky. The grain whisky is made from a mash of 70% corn, 25% rye, and 5% malted barley. The whiskies are distilled in a double copper pot still and then aged for between 3 and 5 years in ex-bourbon barrels. It is bottled at 43% ABV (86 proof) in a 700ml bottle.
The flavor profile of Maen is as balanced and artful as its name suggests.
