This followed its liquidation the previous year. One previous customer of Tomatin was the Kyoto-based distiller Takara Shuzo, which had been founded in 1842 and had been importing the whisky in bulk since the 1960s. Having closed its own Japanese distillery, it joined forces with fellow Tomatin importer, the Tokyo-based trading company Okura \u0026amp; Co to form Tomatin Distillery Company Limited. Okura sold part of its stake in Tomatin to Takara Shuzo in 1998 after being declared bankrupt, and the remainder to the Marubeni Corporation, which has operated the Tomatin Distillery Co from 2000. Since 2006, distribution of Tomatin whisky has been the responsibility of Kokubu \u0026amp; Co, which can trace its roots back to 1712. The J and W Hardie company and its Antiquary brand were acquired by Tomatin in 1996, with the blend having been created around 1880.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2023-03-28T17:37:37-04:00","created_at":"2023-03-20T10:07:14-04:00","vendor":"ConciergeUK","type":"Whiskey","tags":["ATOMCC23","LK2003","Proof_75 - 100 (37.5 - 50% ABV)","Source_MasterOfMalt0323","Type_Whiskey"],"price":3741595,"price_min":3741595,"price_max":3741595,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42859916394634,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Shirakawa 1958 | 700ML","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":3741595,"weight":12247,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/42_21918208-8826-444e-ab1b-d1f3a8344611.jpg?v=1679321253"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/42_21918208-8826-444e-ab1b-d1f3a8344611.jpg?v=1679321253","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"Shirakawa 1958 | 700ML at CaskCartel.com","id":24437281030282,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.242,"height":483,"width":600,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/42_21918208-8826-444e-ab1b-d1f3a8344611.jpg?v=1679321253"},"aspect_ratio":1.242,"height":483,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/42_21918208-8826-444e-ab1b-d1f3a8344611.jpg?v=1679321253","width":600}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eWhiskey: Shirakawa 1958 | 700ML\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is arguably the most rare Japanese whisky in the world, and it's certainly one of the most remarkable we've ever seen.
