Shizuoka Single Malt Prologue K and Prologue W / 2x20cl Single Whisky – Two Japanese Whiskies, One Smart-Value Tasting Experience

Discover the character of Shizuoka Distillery with this carefully paired set of Japanese single malts. The Shizuoka Single Malt Prologue K and Prologue W / 2x20cl Single Whisky includes two 20cl bottles, giving you 40cl of whisky in total at 55.5% ABV. It is an excellent way to explore two distinctive styles from an exciting Japanese distillery without committing to a full-size bottle.

Both whiskies are distillery bottlings from Shizuoka, an up-and-coming name in Japanese whisky. The distillery has repurposed equipment from the now-closed Karuizawa distillery, adding an intriguing connection to Japanese whisky history. This set lets you taste how different production methods can shape the final spirit, making it ideal for curious newcomers, experienced whisky drinkers, and collectors looking for something unusual.

Two Distinctive Whiskies in One Affordable Set

• Prologue W: Produced with Shizuoka’s wood-fired Pot Still W and matured in ex-bourbon casks.
• Format: Two 20cl bottles, offering 40cl of whisky in total.
• Strength: Bottled at 55.5% ABV for a bold and rewarding tasting experience.

Prologue K: Bright Fruit, Vanilla and Gentle Spice

Prologue K was made in an ex-Karuizawa still and matured in first-fill bourbon casks. Its profile brings together fresh fruit, smooth sweetness, and a light touch of spice. Look for notes of white peach and vanilla, followed by white pepper and fennel seed across the palate.

This combination creates a whisky that feels both lively and rounded. The fruit notes add freshness, while the bourbon cask influence brings a soft vanilla character. The subtle pepper and fennel notes provide extra interest, making each sip easy to revisit and explore.

Prologue W: Honeyed Fruit and Lemon Sponge Cake

Prologue W takes a different path. It was made using the wood-fired Pot Still W, a distinctive piece of equipment that gives this expression its own identity. Matured in ex-bourbon casks, it offers a warm and inviting selection of flavours, including honey, apples, apricots, lemon sponge cake, and a bright citrus touch.

The result is an expressive Japanese single malt with a pleasing balance of sweetness and fruit. Honey and ripe fruit create a smooth centre, while lemon sponge cake adds a cheerful, dessert-like note. It is a flavourful contrast to Prologue K and makes the set especially enjoyable for side-by-side tasting.

A Practical Choice for Tasting, Gifting and Sharing

The 20cl format makes this set a convenient and cost-conscious choice. You can enjoy two different Shizuoka single malts in smaller bottles, making it easier to compare their aromas and flavours at your own pace. It is also a thoughtful gift for anyone interested in Japanese whisky or distinctive distillery techniques.

For whisky fans, this is a chance to experience two expressions in one purchase. For those new to Japanese single malt, it offers an approachable introduction without the higher cost or larger commitment of buying two full-size bottles. Serve them neat, add a few drops of water, or compare them during a relaxed tasting with friends.
