Innovation Meets Tradition in Every Drop
Located in Miyazaki Prefecture, the Sato distillery was founded in 1905. It sits majestically on the bank of the Houri River where the water is sourced deep below the surface, under layers of granite that act as a filter, providing amazing clarity and taste. The distillery is accentuated by the beauty of the surrounding forest and farms where ingredients are sourced from local farmers. The varied climate features cold winters and hot, humid summers, which accelerates the aging process and produces unique flavor profiles. Sekk Sato Shiki is truly authentically Japanese from seed to sip.
Rooted in Tradition, Crafted for Today
Most Japanese whisky is produced utilizing the Scotch-style distillation process. Sekk Sato Shiki is distilled utilizing an authentically Japanese still called Sato Still, created by Junji Mizue in 1989. His approach incorporated the 500-year-old Japanese method of distillation combined with his innovative design of the Sato Still to create a truly unique process. The still's shape inside the column resembles a beehive which controls the vapor speed and allows for better balance of the head, heart, and tail, thus creating a more rounded flavor, smooth and balanced whisky.
