Nagahama Distillery

Pros

• Same goes with Nagahama, Kameda, Azaka and a whole bunch of other smaller distilleries that pump out real deal products but have barely any recognition.
• Much better value buying 5-7 bottles of Akkeshi or Nagahama for the same price
• Not to mention some stuff from Nagahama, Akkeshi, Sakurao and Akashi as well at most airports!
• Nagahama has a bunch of single casks available for taste
• That Kanosuke, Nagahama and Akkeshi pick up *chefs kiss*

Cons

• I'm not a huge fan of Nagahama personally
• Those are bad prices for the Nagahama. Especially since those aren't really exclusives. ... I personally like the brand but not at those prices.
• There are very few brands that make me feel nauseated after drinking, and this is unfortunately, one of them. Just too few redeeming qualities, for the price that they command.
• Secondly, some distilleries like Nagahama, Akkeshi, Rokkosan, etc. are producing low aged single cask offerings, and blended NAS, to yes, stay afloat
• Nagahama is generally not worth the price as it's really too young, unless you get the Amahagan which is their blended world malt.
