Kirin Evermore 2004 21 Years 20260102_Iventur This bottling was one ofThis 21 year old, top quality blend from Kirin was already outstanding back in 2004. At least 21 year old malt whiskies were blended with at least 21 year old grain whiskies, resulting in an absolute gem. This top quality blend impresses with its incredible balance and smoothness. Since it was strictly limited back in 2004, these bottlings are extremely rare. It was the penultimate bottling Kirin released before its discontinuation at the end of 2005.
