The average age of the blend is at least four and a half years. Once in the final bottle, Reserves continues to evolve and improve for many years to go.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Southern Glazer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45836550078650,"sku":null,"price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/7821\/4330\/files\/IMG_0230.jpg?v=1778847915","url":"https:\/\/www.albatrosswines.com\/products\/iwa-5-reserves-junmai-daiginjo-sake-japan","provider":"Albatross Wine Co ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
