**Shizuoka Pot Still K – 100% Imported Barley – First Edition (2022)

55.5% – 700 ml – 3000 bottles**

A modern Japanese cult whisky in the making, Shizuoka's Pot Still K is a powerful first edition and a tribute to craftsmanship, innovation, and pure Japanese finesse. Distilled in the famous "K" still (originally from Karuizawa) and composed of 100% imported barley, this release offers a refined yet bold expression that is becoming increasingly difficult to find worldwide.

Taste profile (stylish & premium):

• Nose: Rich vanilla, warm grains, wood spices and subtle Japanese aesthetics: clear, pure and layered.

• Palate: An elegant balance of bourbon barrel sweetness, quarter cask intensity, and sherry hogshead depth. Think honey, toasted oak, creamy malt, and soft apricots.

• Finish: long, pleasantly warming and typically Japanese: refined, precise and with an almost zen-like harmony.

Why unique:

• Originating from Shizuoka , the rising star of Japan.

• Distilled on a Karuizawa heritage pot still.

• First edition – always the most sought after among collectors.

• Only 3000 bottles worldwide .

• A must-have for anyone investing in Japanese whisky.

Collector's value: rising. Shizuoka's First Editions, in particular, are evolving toward cult status, with strong international demand and limited distribution in Europe.

A release not just to be enjoyed – but cherished. Perfect for lovers of rare Japanese whiskies and investors who know what "the future" holds.
