The Shizuoka Prologue K is a single malt whisky from Shizuoka Distillery. Distilled in 2017 and bottled in 2020, this inaugural release is notable for its production using a wash still acquired from Karuizawa Distillery. The presence of this still in the production process is signified in the 'K' of its name.
For the Prologue K, the distillery used a balanced mix of local and imported malt. Maturation occurred over three years, exclusively in first-fill ex-Bourbon casks. This aging process implies a flavor profile heavily influenced by the characteristics of ex-Bourbon cask maturation.
The whisky is bottled at a strength of 55.5% Vol. and is available in a 700 ml format. With a limited release of 5,000 bottles, it was exclusively distributed within the Japanese market.
As the first release from Shizuoka Distillery, the Prologue K showcases a unique blend of local and imported malt, ex-Bourbon cask maturation, and a historical connection to Karuizawa Distillery, making it of interest to whisky enthusiasts.
