Nagahama is the smallest distillery in Japan. Launched in 2016, the Nagahama distillery is one of these new emerging distilleries in Japan. It is installed on the site of the Nagahama Roman Brewery, created in 1996. The distillery has a direct connection to the waters of Lake Biwa, the largest freshwater lake in Japan whose source is Mount Ibuki. Nagahama is inspired by the new wave of small-scale distilleries, particularly identifiable in Scotland with Strathearn or Eden Mill. Its authentic peculiarity resides in its still: the smallest still in Japan called aranbic for its shape reminiscent of Arab architecture, in a 26m2 room. Master blender Takashi Kiyoi and distiller Yusuke Yahisa created this single malt, with a proportion of peaty barley, aged in a single mizunara cask. Producing a single malt that shows remarkable elegance and smoothness.
Elegant, peated. Spices, smooth fruits, mizunara
Tasting notes
Nose : Very gentle. Soft and smooth like maple syrup. Relaxing tree scent, like Japanese traditional-style house and vintage furniture. Smoky aroma of peat with a hint of clove and herb.
Appearance : Ambre aux teintes rougeâtres
Palate : First: Milky and smooth taste, like butter. <br>Middle: Dry and woodenness. Harmony of slight bitterness of tannin from Mizunara cask and peaty accent.
Overall : Well balanced taste with gentle smoky flavour.
