About

One of the very first single malt releases from Shizuoka Distillery, distilled exclusively on the K still (the ex-Karuizawa pot still). Distilled in 2017 and matured for 3 years in first fill bourbon barrels. Originally released as a limited 200ml set before the 700ml export edition.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Fruity and floral with light vanilla, honeyed barley, and a hint of fresh green apple.

Palate

Clean and light with gentle malt sweetness, soft fruit, and a touch of spice from the young spirit.

Finish

Medium length with lingering fruit and a clean malty fade.

Collectors prize this as a historic release from the ex-Karuizawa still. Light and fruity character. Increasingly difficult to find at retail. Many consider it a must-have piece of new Japanese whisky history.
