Prologue K is part of a pair of single malts created by Shizuoka Distillery, a producer known for bringing fresh energy and thoughtful craftsmanship to Japanese whisky.

Fresh Fruit, Soft Vanilla, and Gentle Spice

Prologue K opens with an appealing balance of fruit, sweetness, and spice. White peach notes bring a delicate, juicy quality to the palate, while vanilla from the first-fill bourbon casks adds a soft and creamy layer. White pepper provides a gentle spark, creating lift without overpowering the fruit. Hints of fennel seed add an unusual herbal touch, giving the whisky extra interest and helping it stand apart from more familiar single malts.

At 55.5% ABV, this is a powerful whisky, but it remains easy to explore. Try it neat first to appreciate its natural intensity and layered flavours. Adding a few drops of water can open the whisky further, highlighting its fruitier and sweeter notes. It can also be enjoyed with a single ice cube for a slower, cooler sip.
