Founded in 2016, Nagahama is considered the smallest distillery in Japan.


It also uses one of the smallest stills in the country for its distillation process, called “aranbic” in reference to its characteristic shape reminiscent of Arab architecture.


Based on the shores of Lake Biwa in Shiga Prefecture, the distillery produces Japanese Single Malts and also carefully selects whiskies produced all over the world to create perfectly mastered Blends.


For its production, Nagahama benefits from mineral-rich water during the snowmelt of Mount Ibuki, located just behind the distillery.

Nose: soft and velvety, with aromas of wood, smoke, cloves and herbs.

Palate: unctuous, then dry and woody. The sweet bitterness of the Mizunara cask blends harmoniously with the peaty flavours of barley.

Finish: balanced, with a light and delicate smoke.
