The Joker – Colored and Monochrome

The Joker was the last card in the famous Ichiro’s Malt Card Series, and the colored and monochrome version of the Joker were bottled in 2014 and distilled between 1985 to 2000. Both of the Jokers have their own unique tasting notes, so they don’t just have different card label designs. The Monochrome Joker aged in a single cask (quite fitting for the name “Monochrome”)  while the Colored Joker matured in various casks, such as bourbon and sherry, which gives the Colored Joker Japanese whisky a more “colorful” flavor.
