Located in the town by the same name, Kawazaki grain distillery closed in 1986.
Not much information is available on this distillery other than its still was a traditional coffey-still and about 90% of the production was grain with 10% malted barley in the mix.
This is also the last Japanese whisky in Japan special...
Kawasaki 1981 28yo, 62,4%, ex-bourbon cask - 120 bottles total, No. One Drinks Company for Part Des Anges (closed)
Colour: Full gold
Nose:
Light and very fresh for an old grain. Very sweet with vanilla, huge on tropical fruits and coconut and maybe some pineapple as well - all in beautiful measures... Do I detect some coriander in there?
Taste:
Cinnamon for sure, Xmas bakings, then coconut and tropical fruits. Gets a lot more spicier with water...
Not seriously complex on the palate, but still very enjoyable and not overly sweet which I like in a grain whisky.
88/100!
