The World’s Rarest Japanese Whisky
The Shirakawa 1958 is the earliest known single vintage Japanese whisky ever bottled.
This remarkable and incredibly rare expression, will be the only official single malt ever to be released from the Shirakawa Distillery.
The Shirakawa Distillery operated for nearly six and a half decades before being demolished in 2003.
During this time the distillery produced malt whisky, rumoured to be delightfully exquisite, however it was all destined for blending, never to be captured as a single malt.
It seemed Shirakawa Distillery would guard her secrets forever until a discovery of its liquid history was unearthed.
Now, an exceptionally rare single malt from 1958 is presented as the only official bottling from Shirakawa Distillery.
