This bottling of a Shizuoka single malt was distilled in the only remaining still of the legendary Karuizawa, using exclusively Japanese barley for the first time. The whisky matured in ex-bourbon casks and was bottled in 2022 as a limited edition of 2500 bottles at cask strength.
Shizuoka is a distillery in Japan founded by Gaia Flow in 2017. The distillery previously used by the legendary Karuizawa distillery, which was dismantled in 2011, was brought back to life there.
The whisky from Japan is like its makers. At first glance, reserved, respectful and polite. On closer inspection, however, enormously profound and multi-layered. Japanese whisky is the result of perfected craftsmanship. Many whiskies from Japan carry exotic fruity aromas and a floral bouquet in front of them.
