Hatozaki Finest Japanese Whisky

Description

Hatozaki Finest Whisky is a premium blend of whiskies, aged up to 12 years in barrel with a minimum malt whisky content of 40%. Light in style with a rich backbone of malt whisky character. Cereal notes and a light sweetness allow for the whisky to be used in both highball and straight pours. The Yonezawa family’s experimentation with distilling started over a century ago, in 1917, and has been part of their legacy ever since. In the build-up to their celebration of 100 years of spirit production, the company decided to replace their old stills with new copper twin pot-stills made by the famous Scottish company Forsyth’s. The new facility has been named The Kaikyo Distillery after the Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge that lies in front of the distillery. The distillery sits on the coast, swept by sea winds and salty breezes, which gives many benefits for the aging of whisky
