THE DISTILLERY
The Japanese distillery Kyoto Distillery is owned by Number One Drinks Company Japan. It was founded by Marcin Miller and David Croll, with former Chase and Cotswold distiller Alex Davies as head distiller, in November 2015.
Croll has lived in Japan for over 20 years and for the last 10 years he has worked with Miller which exports Japanese whiskeys all over the world.
The distillery has two copper stills custom made and designed by German manufacturer Christian Carl. Two different sized hybrid stills give the distilling team the ability and flexibility to treat each botanical and each recipe individually, allowing the best flavors and aromas of the carefully selected ingredients to be captured.
