Shizuoka 2019 #592 KS 59% - Krayon Adventures

From Shizuoka’s ex-Karuizawa Still, Cask #592 is a spirited and refined example of the house style at full strength. The KS still imparts a cleaner, fruit-forward profile that complements the natural beauty of the distillery’s alpine surroundings.

Lively aromas of lemon zest, shortbread, and sakura drift from the glass. The palate is dynamic yet composed—white peach, soft oak, and a pinch of pepper dance on the tongue. Bottled at 59.0%, it’s a bold yet nuanced expression of a distillery already defining the next chapter of Japanese whisky.

Bottles Available: 22

Nose: A luxurious swirl of flambéed oranges and creamy vanilla drifts above warm sandalwood and aged leather-bound books. Beneath, Belgian waffles dusted with icing sugar mingle with sweet oak and a drizzle of golden honey.

Palate: Rich and enveloping, with layers of sweet oak, silky honey, and vanilla custard. Orange peel adds a citrus lift to the rounded sweetness.

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