Hatozaki Blended Japanese Whisky

A premium blend of whiskies, aged up to 12 years in barrel with a minimum malt whisky content of 40%.

Light in style with a rich backbone of malt whisky character. Barley sugar sweetness, citrus hints and orchard fruits dominate the palate.

Hatozaki is a range of Japanese blended whiskies created from the maturing barrel stocks in our Akashi warehouses. Our Master Blender uses a two-fold blending process, to bring these different whiskies together and create the complexity and balance so prized in Japanese whisky.

Elegant, smooth, and easy to enjoy, our whisky enhances the pleasure of relaxing moments spent with friends, family and loved ones. Delightfully welcoming.

Kaikyo Distillery was created in 2017 by the Yonezawa to celebrate the centennial of their family business. The Yonezawa family have been making artisan Sake in Akashi City since 1856 and in 1917, started distilling Shochu. From one generation to the next, the family has kept their legacy alive by continuing to develop their spirits expertise. Today, Kimio Yonezawa, our Master Blender & Distiller, uses his experience and heritage to follow his dream to establish Kaikyo distillery.
