The story
The Yuza project was launched within Kinryu Co., Ltd. (a local company operating in the spirits sector) with the aim of producing Japanese whisky in an area rich in spring water near Mount Chokai. The distillery obtained its license and started production in 2018; the first commercial bottlings (First Edition) were released in 2022. Since then production has remained small-scale, with releases as numbered editions and small batches.
Distillation
Distillation using pot stills (small-scale single malt production with dedicated wash and spirit stills).
Ageing
Maturation in ex-bourbon and sherry casks; occasional use of mizunara casks for finishes/special editions.
