Maen The Perfect Circle 8-Year-Old Whisky 43% vol. 0.7 l in a gift box

Maen The Perfect Circle 8 Years Old Whisky is a premium Japanese whisky bottling that combines the Maen brand’s modern style with eight years of cask maturation. The whisky is produced using components that are distilled two or three times in copper stills. It is then matured for eight years in American white oak casks that previously contained bourbon. The influence of the ex-bourbon casks thus forms an essential part of this bottling’s character. Bottled at 43 per cent, the Maen 8 Years Old embodies a fusion of Japanese-inspired whisky aesthetics, extended maturation and classic American oak.


The design of the Maen The Perfect Circle 8 Years Old also follows the brand’s minimalist philosophy. The 0.7-litre bottle, complete with a gift box, features the characteristic circular motif designed by the Japanese calligrapher Juju Kurihara. The circle is inspired by the Ensō, a significant symbol of Zen Buddhism, and thus also echoes the name ‘The Perfect Circle’. The 8-year maturation, the ex-bourbon cask and the striking Japanese design make this edition particularly appealing to connoisseurs seeking a matured whisky with a distinctive presentation. Thanks to the high-quality gift box, this bottling is also ideal as a present for whisky connoisseurs and collectors.

Maen The Perfect Circle 8 Years Old Whisky is particularly well suited to being enjoyed neat at room temperature, but can also be served with a few drops of water or over a large ice cube. It pairs well with roasted almonds and nuts, candied orange peel, mild hard cheese or desserts featuring vanilla and orange. For a lighter drink, the whisky can also be served with well-chilled soda as a Japanese whisky highball. The combination of eight years’ maturation, a gift box and an extraordinary Zen-inspired bottle design also makes it a fitting choice for special occasions and as a gift.
