Nagahama Distillery is located in the picturesque town of Nagahama in the United States, having been founded in 2016. It is a relatively new player in the whisky industry but has quickly gained recognition for its unique approach to whisky production. The distillery is privately owned and has a commitment to crafting high-quality spirits that reflect the local character and environment. With a production capacity that supports a variety of expressions, Nagahama utilizes traditional pot stills and modern techniques to create its whiskies. The distillery produces both blended and single malts, with a notable focus on flavor complexity. The character of Nagahama whisky is defined by its sweet and fruity notes, complemented by hints of nuts and herbs, leading to a rich finish of malt, cherry, and spices. Notable expressions include the Amahagan Edition No. 5 with a sherry wood finish and the 2017 Mizunara Cask, both of which showcase the distillery's innovative spirit and attention to detail.
