In their own words
Quoted as the company wrote it, in Japanese. Translating a house's account of itself would make the words ours rather than theirs.
昭和43年(1968年)には四季醸造が可能な空調設備をもつ鉄筋の「永錫蔵」を完成させるなど、八鹿の長い歴史の中でも革命ともいえる功績を刻んだ。How this house works
Counted from the bottles below, not written about the company.
- What they distil
- 8 bottles here across 2 bases: 7 mugi (barley) and 1 imo (sweet potato).
- Strength
- 20 to 33 percent. 3 publish no strength. That is a wider spread than most houses here.
- Koji
- white and black koji all appear across these bottles, which is usually where the difference between them starts.
- Ageing
- 4 of these are aged, 3 of them in cask.
