Nagahama Bourbon Heavily Peated 50cl 61.9°

Distillery : Nagahama / Country : Japan / Reference: : 24997

This whisky comes straight from the Nagahama distillery, the smallest in Japan. It was made from the mineral-rich water that originates at Mount Ibuki and peated and unpeated barley grown in England.

It was distilled in a very special still, the smallest in Japan, named "aranbic" because of its shape reminiscent of Arab architecture, then aged in unique Bourbon barrel. This maturation gave birth to a whisky full of intensity, with spicy and sweet notes.

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: aromas of vanilla, dried fruit, honey and coffee, complemented by peat and mint.

Palate: sweet notes of vanilla, elegant flavours of peated malt which evolve towards caramel and white chocolate.

Finish: spicy (black pepper), oily and smoky.
