Shinshu is the main distillery which is in the Nagano Alps and Japan’s highest whisky distillery. The second is the Tsunuki distillery in Kagoshima, an island in the south of Japan. This distillery was founded in 2016.

  • Lightly peated (average 5–6 ppm)
  • Matured in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks

Brand Tasting Notes: Toasted, sweet grain on the nose is accompanied by orchard fruit and woody smoke; the palate speaks of bergamot orange marmalade and grilled lemons with sultry campfire smoke on the finish.
