SHIZUOKA JAPANESE WHISKY GIFT SET 2PK 200ML 55.5% PROLOGUE W & PROLOGUE K; SINGLE MALT

Shizuoka is an exciting up-and-coming distillery in Japan. It was founded in 2016 by Taiko Nakamura, president of Scotch whisky importer Gaia Flow. The distillery was all the buzz when they announced they salvaged the distilling equipment from the legendary closed Karuizawa distillery. Only one of the three Karuizawa stills could be used since the others were in too poor a condition, and so Shizuoka had a new pair made by Forsyths in Scotland. The distillery produces two unique types of new make spirit (known as K and W) by using wood-fired heating for the wash still, while the old Karuizawa still and the new spirit still are steam heated. This set contains two 200ml bottles of the Prologue W and the Prologue K, allowing you to experience these two distinctive single malts. The wood-fired Prologue W is robust with a rich texture and a long finish. Prologue K, produced using the old Karuizawa still, is fresh and fruity with elegant flavours.
