Hatozaki Finest Japanese Whiskey

The Yonezawa family began experimenting with distilling in 1917, establishing a legacy that continues to this day. In preparation for their centennial celebration, the company replaced its old stills with new copper twin pot stills made by the renowned Scottish firm Forsyth's. The modern facility, named The Kaikyo Distillery after the Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge that stands before it, was built to produce Japanese Single Malt Whisky and other spirits. Drawing on heritage and provenance, the company incorporates historical elements of its home city, Akashi in Hyogo Prefecture, into the branding of its new spirits. Hatozaki Finest Japanese Whisky is a premium blend aged up to 12 years, with a minimum malt whisky content of 40%. Light in style yet backed by rich malt character, it offers cereal notes and a gentle sweetness, making it equally suitable for highballs or neat pours. The whisky is uncolored and unchill-filtered.
