Produced in small batches of fewer than 20 casks, it's never colored and left unchill-filtered, resulting in a naturally pale straw color. Described by the distillery as round, generous, and unpeated, it opens with sweet malted cereal and dried fruit, lifted by a light smoky undertone and rounding out to an aromatic honey finish. Bottled at 46% ABV, this is a fuller, more textured sipping whisky than Hatozaki's lighter Finest expression — built for those who want a bit more depth and complexity in the glass.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eABOUT THE NAME\u003cbr\u003eLike the rest of the Hatozaki range, Small Batch takes its name from the Hatozaki Lighthouse — the oldest stone lighthouse in Japan, standing watch over ships entering the port of Akashi since 1620. The Kaikyo Distillery itself sits near the Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge, and the brand's imagery draws throughout on the maritime heritage of its Hyogo Prefecture home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSTYLE: PURE MALT (BLENDED MALT) WHISKY\u003cbr\u003eAGE: 5–6 YEARS\u003cbr\u003eCASK TYPES: EX-BOURBON, EX-SHERRY, MIZUNARA OAK (HOKKAIDO\/TOHOKU)\u003cbr\u003eBATCH SIZE: UNDER 20 CASKS PER BATCH\u003cbr\u003eSPECIAL NOTES: UNDER NEW 2024 LABELING STANDARDS, BLENDS CONTAINING NON-JAPANESE-DISTILLED SPIRIT CANNOT BE MARKETED AS \"JAPANESE WHISKY\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kaikyo Distillery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47967249400038,"sku":"SPT-095","price":78.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2697\/3158\/files\/SPT-095-web.jpg?v=1783691009","url":"https:\/\/dcsake.com\/products\/hatozaki-whisky-small-batch","provider":"DC Sake","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
