Crafted at the Kaikyō Distillery in Akashi, Japan, Hatozaki Omakase Rye Whisky is a limited-edition expression that reflects both Japanese artistry and the bold character of rye. The word Omakase translates to “I’ll leave it up to you,” symbolizing the distiller’s vision and mastery in shaping this unique whisky. Bottled at 50% ABV, it delivers a rich, full-bodied experience that balances spice, oak, and elegance.
This small-batch whisky is made from a high-rye mash bill and matured in a combination of new charred American oak and traditional Japanese oak casks. The influence of the oak layers the spirit with deep notes of vanilla, caramel, and roasted spice, while the rye grain provides its signature peppery vibrancy. The coastal climate of Akashi further enhances the maturation, imparting subtle maritime nuances that round out its bold profile.
