Crafted at Japan's Shizuoka distillery, which began operations in 2016, this single malt whisky is produced using 100% locally sourced Japanese barley and distilled in historic ex-Karuizawa stills. Aged in a blend of bourbon and wine casks, the whisky develops vibrant herbal aromas, including hints of popcorn shoots, haystacks, and a touch of anisette. On the palate, it reveals a smooth, creamy malt character, with layers of honeycomb, refreshing lemon thyme, and delicate undertones of watermelon.
