3. About Suzaki Distillery

Established in 1846, Okinawa’s oldest Awamori brewery, Shinzato Shuzo, built a distillery at the southernmost tip of Japan.
The “Shinzato WHISKY” currently on sale is a whisky made by blending overseas blended whisky with a few percent of the so-called “Awamori” from the Shinzato Shuzo, Awamori aged for 13 years in sherry casks.

“NEW MAKE Shinzato”, distilled in-house, will be released in April 2021. The limited run of 350 bottles sold out immediately.
Pot stills are used in combination with those used to distill Awamori. Currently, they have three pot stills. Three types of casks are used for maturation (specifics are unknown, but probably sherry and bourbon casks), and they intend to sell it as whisky after three years of maturation. The company produces one batch of whisky every day. Click here for the official Instagram
