Part of Nagahama Distillery’s celebrated Kyoto Bartender’s Batch series, this edition was made in collaboration with the renowned Bar Silver Moon, Fushimi and showcases the palate of owner / blender Koki Kitahata. Yusuke Yaku, Nagahama’s chief blender, worked closely with Koki Kitahata to explore various combinations before finalizing this unique blend.

This thoughtfully crafted whisky melds spirits matured in Nagahama’s sherry casks with a standout accent drawn from unblended sake aged over 20 years - a nod to Nagahama’s sake-making roots and the creativity of the Bartender’s Batch series.

Tasting Notes

On The Nose

Apricot, muscat, and hints of dried stone-fruit. Lifted with a gentle floral aroma and a faint impression of aged sake’s gentle warmth.

On The Palate

Silky and rich, with a touch of sweetness and umami, echoing the presence of matured sherry and aged sake. Flavors of ripe pear, soft honey, and gentle malt-driven creaminess emerge, underpinned by subtle savory complexity.

The Finish

Long and elegant, combining gentle fruit sweetness with lingering bittersweet notes.
