Aichi, Japan
HINOTORI means "Phœnix" in Japanese. Coming back from its ashes is exactly what the
Hekinan distillery, located in Aichi and founded in 1949, is doing by releasing a limited 5 years old batch made from malt and grain in a pot still. Aging takes place in used whisky barrels for 5 years to allow gentle and smooth aromas to develop.
