Japanese whisky is renowned for technical precision, pristine water and a meticulous approach to maturation. Crafted mainly from malted barley, it is pot-distilled and aged in oak including American, European and native Mizunara, which lends sandalwood, incense and delicate spice. Sherry and Bourbon casks add layers of orchard fruit, vanilla and honey with a seamless, silky finish.
