The Japanese Whisky Legends

Hakushu Distiller’s Reserve is a refreshing Japanese single malt whisky from the forests of Mount Kaikomagatake, crafted at the Hakushu distillery. Known for its light and herbal character, it features a delicate balance of green apple, mint, cucumber, and subtle smoke.

Ichiro’s Malt & Grain is a harmonious Japanese world blended whisky created by Ichiro Akuto, blending malt and grain whiskies from Japan with carefully selected spirits from Scotland, Ireland, the U.S., and Canada. Known for its smooth, elegant character, it offers notes of honey, orchard fruits, vanilla, and a gentle touch of spice. The whisky is matured in ex-bourbon barrels, enhancing its mellow sweetness and balance.

The Chita is a refined Japanese single grain whisky from Suntory’s Chita distillery, celebrated for its smoothness and delicate complexity. Crafted primarily from corn and distilled through continuous stills, it reveals a light, silky profile with notes of honey, crème brûlée, fresh herbs, and a hint of spice. Aged in a combination of wine, Spanish oak, and American white oak casks, The Chita develops a subtle depth while retaining its gentle elegance.

Nikka Coffey Malt is a unique Japanese whisky made entirely from malted barley, but distilled in a traditional Coffey (column) still—typically used for grain whisky.
