Mithuna is the second expression in the Zodiac series, which draws its names from Indian astrology. It was matured in first-fill American virgin oak and finished in first-fill ex-bourbon casks — an unusual order of operations that gives the whisky its signature coffee and cocoa register.

What it delivers

• Old oak hues with aromas of liquorice and gentle beeswax
• Ulmo honey on crisp toast and tender vanilla on delivery
• Chewy coffee mocha, orange peel and delicate spice over active tannins
• Dark cocoa tones carried on gentle oils through a long close

Why it matters

• Silver at the International Spirits Challenge
• Crowned Asian Whisky of the Year on release
• Unpeated and non chill-filtered at a formidable 58%
• A strictly limited Zodiac series release rather than a core expression
