Adopted from the renowned, now-closed Karuizawa distillery, Pot Still K is distilled entirely from Japanese barley and matured in 17 carefully selected bourbon and wine casks, exemplifying Shizuoka’s mastery of balance and refinement. On the nose, it opens bright and inviting, with Japanese herbal notes layered over grainy sweetness, hay, and vanilla. Subtle aromas of popcorn, mint, and aniseed emerge, underscored by a faint mineral quality and delicate white floral hints. The palate continues with a unique botanical character—reminiscent of juniper berries, lemon peel, and refreshing mint—before evolving into maltier tones of honey and melon. The finish is light yet satisfying, with a soft malty sweetness and a clean lemony freshness that lingers. Pot Still K is an elegant and complex whisky, a testament to Shizuoka’s innovative approach to Japanese whisky-making.
