The Nagahama Roman Blended Whisky is a fine bottling from the young but already renowned Nagahama Distillery, which has earned itself a firm place in the Japanese whisky world with a great deal of passion and craftsmanship. The small distillery is picturesquely situated on the shores of Lake Biwa in Shiga Prefecture and is known for its limited batches, creative cask maturation and high-quality blends with a clear Japanese signature.
In Japanese, the name Roman symbolizes "dream", "tale" or "journey" - in keeping with the philosophy of this bottling, which combines various influences and whisky components to create a harmonious story. The Nagahama Roman Blended Whisky combines self-distilled malts from the Nagahama Distillery with selected imported grain whiskies, resulting in a smooth, balanced profile. It is bottled at 43% vol., which underlines its accessibility without losing any of its expressiveness.
