Master blender Takashi Kiyoi and distiller Yusuke Yahisa created this lightly peated single malt, distilled in August 2020 and then matured exclusively in Mizunara hogshead cask for three years. Each cask is carefully selected according to the distillery’s vision : one brew, one cask, which fully showcases the flavors of the Nagahama malt unadorned. The result is a masterpiece that marries the subtle allure of peat with the distinct charm of Mizunara oak.

TASTING NOTES

Nose: The initial aromas evoke the essence of freshly steeped tea leaves, imparting a sense of tranquility and elegance. As you delve deeper, a subtle scent of baked bread emerges, offering a comforting familiarity.

Palate: A harmonious symphony of flavors. The mild peatiness takes a backseat, allowing the malt to shine through. The young cask influence is unmistakable, constributing to the whisky’s caracter with a pronounced oaky essence.

Overall: Medium in length, gently trailing off into a smoky essence, wrapping up the tasting with a touch of mystery.
