Distillery Information

The Shizuoka Whisky Distillery in Japan’s Shizuoka prefecture is a blend of tradition, modernity, and nature. It lies among green hills with views of Mount Fuji. The distillery mixes the calm Japanese countryside with skilled craftsmanship. This creates a high-quality drink that reflects its origin. The distillery's location is key to the whisky's character. The clear, mineral-rich waters and clean air of Shizuoka are important in distilling and ageing. They give the whisky a unique touch tied to its place. The changing seasons also affect the whisky's ageing. This adds to its character. Shizuoka Whisky Distillery mixes traditional and new whisky-making methods. Artisans, led by a master blender or distiller, watch every step. They ensure the whisky is top quality and reflects its origin. The approach leads to different whiskies. Each has a unique taste but all show Shizuoka’s mark. Traditional methods are used in making Shizuoka whisky. They ferment in wooden washbacks. They distil using Scottish and Japanese pot stills. The whisky ages in various casks, like American white oak, sherry, and umeshu (plum wine) casks. These add complexity and depth to the whisky. Sustainability and respect for the environment are key at Shizuoka. They use local ingredients and energy-efficient methods. This reduces their environmental impact. This keeps Shizuoka’s landscapes unspoilt. This mix of nature and tradition results in a whisky that takes you through the hills and waters of its birth.
