With its 26sqm of extension, the Nagahama Distillery could be considered the smallest in Japan. It is located next to Lake Biwa. Founded in 1996 as a brewery, a few years ago it launched into the production of Whisky, setting up a small distillery to meet the growing demand in the Japanese market.


Some very interesting new branded Whisky expressions were thus born. Right now, new releases and sales of Whisky home aging mini-barrels are all Nagahama has to offer, so they put a lot of energy and care into their distillation methods, trying to create amazingly balanced spirits, without exaggeration or excessive experimentation. They attend many whisky events all over Japan and so far are rapidly growing their increasingly passionate clientele.

Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
