Its refined taste stems from a continuous pursuit of perfection
1 Perfect Climate
The balanced, smooth and subtle taste of Japanese whisky can be traced to Japan’s four seasons – each of which produces varied conditions in the diverse oak casks that the whiskies are aged in – differentiating end products with a splendid spectrum of flavours and aromas.
3 Rice
Rice and malted barley are commonly used in the mash bill to produce Japanese whisky in a variety of flavours, while some Japanese whiskies have a ratio of 50% barley and 50% rice.
2 Natural Spring Water
The finest natural local spring water is used for Japanese whisky, which imbues it with a distinctive taste. Each distillery ensures the quality of spring water is nothing less than exceptional, before traditional production begins.
4 Distilled Twice
Modelled after Scottish single malt whisky, Japanese whisky is typically distilled twice. Some whiskies can be distilled up to four times for a smoother mouthfeel.
