Ontake
Ontake is a Japanese single malt whisky from Nishi Shuzo, a Kagoshima producer whose roots date back to 1845 and are closely linked to shochu making. The Ontake Distillery began whisky production in 2019 on the Satsuma Peninsula, overlooking Kinko Bay and Sakurajima, with pure mountain water and Nishi Shuzo’s long distilling background shaping the project from the start.
