Japanese Grain Whisky

Japanese grain whisky represents the softer, more elegant side of Japanese whisky. Made from grains other than barley – typically corn, wheat, or rye – it’s distilled in continuous column stills to create a smooth, gently sweet spirit with a light body and balanced profile. It often serves as the foundation for many Japanese blended whiskies.

Taste and character

Japanese grain whisky is known for its silky texture and harmonious flavour, blending notes of vanilla, caramel, honey, and tropical fruit. Maturation in oak casks adds subtle woody undertones that complete its delicate and refined nature.

Who it’s for

Japanese grain whisky is perfect for those who prefer lighter, more elegant flavours. It shines on its own but also beautifully complements richer styles such as single malt whisky or blended whisky. A testament that simplicity can be just as captivating as complexity.
