Shizuoka 2019 #580 KS 59.3% - Krayon Adventures

Born of Shizuoka’s ex-Karuizawa Still—a design unique to the distillery—this single cask celebrates the distillery’s forward-looking spirit and Japanese craftsmanship. The #580 bottling harnesses vibrant fermentation, soft climate influence, and first-rate cask maturation.

Expect a rich, fragrant nose with bursts of citrus oil, white chocolate, and warm malt. The palate follows with layers of poached pears, vanilla spice, and delicate florals, finishing long and pure. At 59.3%, it retains a youthful energy, tempered by finesse. A bright, confident expression from one of Japan’s most exciting new voices.

Nose: An inviting medley of sweet vanilla and icing sugar, reminiscent of warm Belgian waffles fresh off the iron. Notes of freshly sawn pine lend a gentle resinous edge, softened by a subtle grassy freshness.

Palate: Rich and indulgent—like biting into a buttery Danish pastry—infused with nutmeg warmth and the comforting depth of toasted oak.

Finish: Medium in length, lingering with fragrant oak and gentle honeyed warmth.
