Shizuoka Prologue W

Born from a distiller’s pilgrimage to Islay and a vision for Japanese whisky, Shizuoka Prologue W represents the pioneering spirit of Japan’s newest distillery, established in 2017. Crafted using a unique, direct wood-fired pot still – a piece of distilling history salvaged from the famed Karuizawa – this whisky embodies both tradition and innovation. Bottled at a robust 55.5% ABV, Prologue W delivers a bold and complex character, hinting at smoky depths and a rich, warming spice. It’s a testament to the potential of Japanese single malt, shaped by Scottish influence and a dedication to exceptional craftsmanship.
