The "single malt Komagatake Nature of Shinshu" series is based on a youthful and dynamic malt spirit, expressing gratitude for the blessings of Shinshu and embodying the harmony of new and old malts woven by nature in the bottle. The theme of the 2nd release following the previous theme of "gentian" is the "Kohiganzakura," a flower that blooms in a vivid pale pink color in the Takato Castle Ruins Park in Ina City, Nagano Prefecture.

We have vatted malt spirit distilled in 2013 with aged spirits aged for over 20 years. This single malt whisky combines the sweet and spicy aroma derived from the long-term aging of malt spirit with a moderate peatiness, offering an elegant and smooth mouthfeel with a rich flavor.
