Kawasaki Distillery was a Japanese grain whisky distillery located in Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture, operating from 1972 to 2016. Owned by Mercian Corporation (later Kirin Holdings), it specialized in producing heavy, rich single grain whisky primarily from corn using traditional Coffey stills. Unlike Japan's more famous malt distilleries, Kawasaki focused exclusively on grain whisky production, making it a unique component in the Japanese whisky landscape. The distillery's closure has made its remaining stocks extremely rare and highly collectible, with official bottlings and select independent releases now commanding significant premiums in the global whisky market.

Justpoured a dram from a tiny grain distillery – deep amber colour, first sniff hits molasses and dates with a whisper of sherry and strawberry liqueur. On the palate there’s a rich, oily texture, toasted almonds and seeds, a touch of green peppercorn spice, then dark fruits and fig rolls swirling with tamarind chutney. The finish is long and powerful, leaving notes of aged balsamic, warm croissant, brioche and a hint of rosewater, all wrapped in that richness of this character. Quite thrilling, beguilingly complex – definitely a dram to savour. 🥃

哦,这杯的色泽就很有老派作风,是那种深沉的琥珀色,看起来就很油润、polished。 闻起来第一下是超正的黄油吐司🍞和黑面包的暖香,接着涌上来的是扎实的果脯、无花果卷,还有那种熟悉的、有点复古的雪莉桶甜香。嗯,深色水果的果酱感很明显,里头还混着一丝丝杏仁膏和淡淡的花香,挺抓人的。 喝一大口,酒体相当油润,裹着舌头。甜味是黑糖蜜、软棕糖,还有点太妃糖的意思,但一点不腻。底下藏着点老派的“车库”味?像是抛光的金属(brasso?)、旧皮革,甚至一丢丢汽油和砾石感,但奇怪的是,这些凑在一起反而有种工业复古的魅力。 尾韵老长了,喉咙里暖烘烘的🔥,黑胡椒的辛香和姜糖的暖意慢慢出来,最后留下些红枣、风干蔓越莓和一点点烟熏木质调。复杂得很,而且是那种很舒服的复杂。 整体感觉就是huge yet charming,复古得来又很有层次,越喝越有意思。酒精感藏得也好,不知不觉就喝掉大半杯,完全是个意外之喜。

Had a dram last night and honestly... wow 🥃 First sip - got this lovely warm honey thing going on, then boom, some toffee and a bit of vanilla coming thru. Real smooth. Let it sit for a minite and suddenly there's this fruity kick, maybe apple? Pear? Can't quite tell but it's bloody lovely 😍 The finish is where it proper shines tho - long, warming, got a bit of spice at the end that just lingers. Honestly felt like sittin by a fireplace on a cold night. Just pure comfort in a glass 🍂 Nose: caramel, maybe some oak, defo getting a hint of smoke Palette: creamy, malty, touch of citrus? Overall just a proper solid whisky that goes down way too easy 😅 Would defo have another glass if it wasn't already past midnight lol

Had a braw wee dram the other night. The nose hit me with warm honey and a bit of citrus peel. 🍊 On the tongue, smooth as silk with a touch of cinnamon spice. Finished long and smoky, really warmed me up on a chilly evening. 😌 Pure bliss, that.
