This Shizuoka Pot Still "K" comes exclusively from the Karuizawa kettle and is distilled entirely from Scottish grain. 45% of this was peated and 55% unpeated. This produced a lightly-smoked whisky.

This United "S" is a combination of distillates from the Karuizawa still and the wood-fired still. The latter distillate is much heavier and gives this whisky more character. Both Japanese and European barley were used in the recipe.
