Tasting Notes

Masuizumi Link 8 opens with ripe pear and caramel, followed by milky, creamy aromas and subtle Chivas Regal cask influence. The palate is fresh yet honeyed, layering green apple, grape, chestnut, mature fig, and walnut over a rich, rounded texture. A higher proportion of wine yeast-fermented sake adds brightness while preserving the deep, sweet complexity of the cask-aged profile. Pair with uni, foie gras, grilled eel, smoked duck, seared Japanese beef, or aged cheese.

Overview

Link 8 is a collaboration between Masuizumi and Chivas Regal, joining Japanese sake brewing with the Scotch house's art of blending. Its name reflects the 8,888-kilometer connection between Toyama's port district of Iwase and Strathisla, the distillery that produces a key malt for Chivas Regal. Masuda Shuzo stores the sake in ex-Chivas Regal American oak casks, bringing bright fruit, creamy richness, honeyed depth, and restrained whisky character into a layered composition. The brewery lists Link 8 as a limited-distribution bottling.
