To celebrate World Whisky Day 2022, we released a limited-edition New Make Spirit inspired by Japan. Our Japanese Sake Yeast New Make Spirit is the brain child of one of our Distillers, Conor O'Keefe. Conor had been reading a book authored by the godfather of Japanese whisky, Masataka Taketsuru. Despite Taketsuru being the godfather of Japanese whisky, he came from a long line of sake brewers. This link between Sake and Whisky was one that got Conor thinking; 'what would happen if we used sake yeast in our malt whisky production?'
