Shizuoka Distillery is the most important Japanese distillery you haven't heard of. Its first bottle - the Prologue K - is made with a legendary pot still salvaged from Karuizawa: a Japanese ghost distillery of cult status. Its second bottle - the Prologue W - is made from the world's only wood-fired whisky pot still. Both show a level of complexity that punch way above their age-class. This set provides a rare opportunity for a nice side-by-side tasting experience.
