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: very peaty, malty, with aromas of pepper, leather, fruit, and spices.

Palate: notes of pepper, fruit (bananas, passion fruit), with still a strong peat.

Finish: balanced, between peaty, iodized and fruity notes.
