Hatozaki Blended
The Kaikyo Distillery
Tasting Notes
Hatozaki Blended Whisky is a captivating blend from the Kaikyo Distillery, where the art of blending reaches new heights. This harmonious marriage of malt and grain whiskies, carefully selected from both Japanese and imported stocks, unveils a symphony of flavors that will delight the senses. The aroma beckons with the alluring sweetness of malty notes, intertwined with the fragrant embrace of lemongrass and cereal undertones. As you savor each sip, the palate unfolds a delightful dance of grain sweetness, honeyed nuances, and a touch of barrel char, accompanied by the delicate essence of stone fruits and the floral caress of orange blossoms. The finish lingers with an intriguing oily nuttiness, echoing the cereal notes that lend depth and complexity. Aged in a variety of casks, including sherry, bourbon, and the revered Mizunara oak, this whisky celebrates the diversity of flavors, paying homage to the Hatozaki lighthouse – the oldest in Japan – from which it draws its name.
