Whisky Hatozaki

With a long brewing experience started in 1856, the Yonezawa family has been distilling since 1917 but it's 100 years later, in 2017, that the production of spirits takes on new ambitions with the installation of Forsyths pot stills to produce Japanese single malts. The distillery was then named Kaikyo in homage to the Akashi-Kaikyo bridge which is located nearby. Today the distillery produces two types of whiskies: a single malt which production started in 2017 and which is still maturing and a range of blends under the Hatozaki brand. The products are made from whiskies distilled in Japan and malt and grain whiskies imported from Scotland and elsewhere.
