The Shizuoka Pot Still K Imported Barley is a fantastic new whiskey that looks to follow its popular predecessor, the Prologue K, in true Karuizawa style.

The distillery is one of the fastest rising stars in Japanese whisky.

His initial claim to fame was the purchase of the former Karuizawa stills.

They have since proven that it wasn't just a gimmick.

One of their latest releases is Shizuoka Pot Still K, this Japanese single malt is considered among the best single malt whiskeys in the world.

The distillery is located high in the Japanese mountains in Shizuoka's Tamagawa district, not far from Mount Fuji.

The architecture is modern and Taiko Nakamura, founder of Shizuoka and president of Gaia Flow, has gone to great lengths to make the distillery stand out in multiple ways.
