Nagahama Single Cask Sauternes Peated 1562 50cl 53°
This whisky was produced at the Nagahama distillery, the smallest in Japan, which draws its water from Japan's largest freshwater lake, Lake Biwa.
The Single Malt has aged in three types of casks: ex-Bourbon casks, ex-peated whiskey casks from Islay and ex-Sauternes casks. This unique ageing gives it fruity, smoky and gourmet 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.
