The craft distillers also demonstrate their craftsmanship with two elegant single casks. The Nagahama 2018/2023 – Sake Cask was matured in a sake cask that previously contained Junmai Daiginjo sake. At 57.5% ABV, it blends vanilla and floral aromas with lingering fruit notes of Muscat grapes and pear. The Nagahama 2020/2023 – Mizunara Cask matured entirely in a rare Japanese Mizunara oak cask. The hardwood is difficult to work with, but imparts harmonious notes of oak, bread, and freshly brewed tea to the lightly peated single malt.
