Our whiskies

No1 bottlings

No.1 single cask bottlings

Some of the casks of Japanese whisky we come across are so exceptional that we bottle them under our own label. These whiskies show depths of flavour and aroma that we consider outstanding as well as uniquely Japanese. The very first Number One bottling won an award from the Malt Maniacs.
