“Single Malt Japanese Whisky Shizuoka Pot Still K Pure Japanese Barley 2023 Edition“
In June 2022, we released the first edition of our “Pot Still Series”, “Pot Still K Japanese Barley, First Edition”, combining Distiller K and Japanese barley. This product is the 2023 edition created with that same combination. Each edition is an evolution of the series, allowing you to experience the “now” of Shizuoka Distillery.
This is the first release of this series in the newly adopted 500ml bottle from this fall. The sales volume will be limited to 6,000 bottles in Japan, more than double the 2,500 bottles of the previous series. The alcohol content will remain the same throughout the series, bottled at 55.5%, which provides a great drinking experience and flexibility in the way you enjoy it.
On the occasion of the release, Gaiaflo Shizuoka Distillery President, Daiko Nakamura, said, “We are proud to announce the release of this new bottling of Gaiaflo Shizuoka Distillery,
We are proud to present our second pure Japanese barley, a pot still K that is the ultimate in ‘Japanese’ barley. This single malt whisky is made from 100% barley grown in Japan and distilled on the K distiller, which was built in Japan in the 1950s. The blend contains only ex-bourbon barrel aged whisky so that you can experience the delicate flavor characteristic of Japanese barley.
It would be interesting to drink it side by side with Pot Still W Japanese Barley, which is also aged ex-bourbon barrels only, to feel the difference in distillation machines. We hope you will enjoy this 100% Japanese barley single malt in the 100th year of Japanese whisky.
