About
Shizuoka Distillery's Yakitori Kawa is a bold, youthful Japanese single malt that captures the essence of contemporary Japanese distilling craft. At an impressive 63.7% ABV, this three-year-old expression delivers an intense and multifaceted profile reflecting both traditional heritage and modern innovation. The distillery harnesses mineral-rich water and inherited distilling techniques to create a whisky of genuine character and depth. The nose reveals honeyed notes, cinnamon, and citrus aromas that quickly give way to pronounced malty character. On the palate, a punchy, spicy experience unfolds with ginger, white pepper, and hints of cinnamon sugar and honey. The finish is warm and persistent, with building heat that emphasizes the whisky's complex flavor layers. This is a dram for those who appreciate intense, unpolished character and robust spice.
