Hatozaki Blended Malt Whisky

Hatozaki Blended Whisky comes from the Kaikyo Distillery in Akashi, overlooking the Akashi Strait. It is a blend of malt and grain whiskies, including whisky distilled in Japan alongside imported stocks, aged in a range of cask types including sherry, bourbon and Mizunara oak, and bottled at 40% ABV.

The nose offers light, sweet malty aromas alongside cereal notes and fragrant lemongrass, with fruity hints of nectarine and banana. On the palate, grain sweetness meets a touch of honey and barrel char, with more stone fruit and orange blossom. The finish brings an oily nuttiness and further cereal notes. Approachable and versatile, it is equally suited to sipping neat or to making a refreshing highball.
