Why buy Japanese craft spirits?

Bored of the everyday rice wine or plum wine? Want to try something other than your usual craft spirit brands? If premium sake and all the usual alcoholic beverages aren't interesting you anymore, we have the solution.

The Spirit of Japan range brings real Japanese flavours to English spirits like never before. Taking inspiration from the Japanese style of light but delightfully layered flavours, the botanicals are carefully distilled with bespoke spirits at our craft distilleries, using innovative production processes specially designed to present each of their flavours as elegantly as possible. The resulting distilled spirit is a true showcase of the artistry of distillation: enticing, captivating flavours that are rarely found outside of Japan, in spirits that are smooth and sumptuous; a true balance of Japanese refinement and English craftsmanship.

A must-have for liquor stores, these spirits can be enjoyed neat, with a fruit juice or soda water mixer to reduce the alcohol content, or in a variety of cocktails. Try the next most popular alcoholic drink before anyone else and discover unforgettable, unique, vibrant flavours.
