Nagahama The First Batch

The smallest craft distillery in Japan. Launched in 2016, with the smallest still, in a 26 square meter room. The distillery is located on the site of the Nagahama Roman Brewery, established in 1996. It has a direct connection to the waters of Lake Biwa, the largest freshwater lake in Japan whose source is Mount Ibuki. The single malts from the distillery are called “Nagahama”. Six years have gone by since Nagahama started whisky production in December 2016. This is the memorable release of “The First Batch”, Nagahama’s first single malt!

The distillery blended four different types of their own non-peated whiskies, distilled between 2017 and 2019. Whisky aged in Bourbon casks are used as the base, in addition to whisky aged in Sherry, Islay Quarter and Mizunara oak casks which have then been put together to create their first vatted single malt whisky. 

Elegant and malty, which is a particular characteristic of Nagahama whiskies, First Batch is rich in taste.

Nose: Delicate notes of ripe fruits such as red apple or persimmon. Sweet vanilla, coconut, and caramel are followed by the refreshing aromas of raspberries and cranberries.

Palate: Very smooth, the palate is reminiscent of freshly baked
raisin cookies or dried apricots. Then can be found herbal essence, like a freshly brewed black tea.

Finish: The bitterness and dryness derived from the different barrels bring out the whole taste.

Alc: 50%

Bottle Size: 500ml
