Kurayoshi the foothills of Mt. Daisen, has a fine water that is indispensable for whisky distilling. Kurayoshi, called that “Life is good” is the origin of the word, but the annual temperature range in the Sea of Japan side is large, and the aging of whisky also advances quickly compared to the actual situation like Islay Island.

It is no exaggeration to say that whisky is made by barrel and the nature. The distillery is not big, and they have a small number of staff, however, they continue to strive, with the desire to deliver the best whisky. 

Fine quality water is essential for whisky making, but the process of barrel aging as an important procedure for us as well. As Mizunara (Japanese Oak) and Sakura (Cherry wood) have been applied as barrel materials, that we are developing a variety of whisky production by using wine barrel or sherry barrel. They are challenging to present varieties of tasting whisky through the process of post-ripening in various barrels and various whisky production all the time.
