Distilled in the legendary Karuizawa still, the Shizuoka Pot Still K marks a significant moment in Japanese whisky history. This First Edition is crafted from 100% Scottish barley—45% peated and 55% unpeated—and matured across 17 casks (bourbon and wine barrels). The result bridges Japanese precision with Scottish tradition.

On the nose, sweetness dominates: fresh rose petals, white fruit, and rich vanilla create an inviting profile. The palate delivers spice—gingerbread notes, light white pepper, anise—before a restrained, balanced peat smoke emerges. The finish is elegant and warming, never heavy.
