Functioning much like a scientific laboratory for whisky, it specializes in experimenting with a wide range of unconventional combinations of yeasts, barley varieties, and casks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout 8 months have passed since the release of EX01 in June 2025. During this time, Shindo's spirits have continued to mature in an increasingly diverse range of casks, marking a clear progression in time and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile EX01 expressed the charm of their new make through a deliberately simple cask composition (*1), EX02 builds upon that foundation. By vatting more mature spirits, it brings greater breadth and depth to the qualities derived from their new make.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBright estery aromas rise elegantly, followed by gently toasted dried-fruit nuances. Alongside these, the lactone-derived milky and fatty sweetness inherent to our new make reveals subtle toffee notes. The contours of the aroma and flavor have become more defined, and the expression richer in character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNose:  The aroma is characterized by bright, ester-driven notes, offering an elegant, fruity profile with hints of dried fruits. It carries a signature \"milky\" and fatty, toffee-like sweetness that is characteristic of the Shindo new make, resulting in a rich and well-defined scent.\u003cbr\u003ePalate: creamy texture with a significant presence of sweet, indulgent flavors, including caramel, toffee, and vanilla. The flavor profile is described as richer and more defined than the EX01, with subtle toffee notes rounding out the experience.\u003cbr\u003eFinish:  long and lingering, maintaining the creamy, rich notes found on the palate, with a well-rounded and smooth character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Under the law of Hong Kong, intoxicating liquor must not be sold or supplied to a minor in the course of business.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*根據香港法律，不得在業務過程中，向未成年人售賣或供應令人醺醉的酒類。\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Photo for reference only.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harbour City-Actual","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45326904655915,"sku":"301636576","price":950.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2597\/8324\/files\/citysuper-eshop_square-icon_shared-spec_background_white-bg_600x600_retina-2x_301636576_shindo-experimental-02.png?v=1790749860","url":"https:\/\/online.citysuper.com.hk\/products\/shindo-experimental-02-single-malt-japanese-whisky-301636576","provider":"city'super E-Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
