At Whiskey&Co., we proudly embrace the iconic spelling of "Whiskey" symbolising our tribute to the bourbon style of whiskey as a declaration of our commitment to crafting Japanese bourbon-style whiskey—a rare and bold endeavor in the realm of Japanese whisky.

Our mission is to create a uniquely Japanese bourbon-style whiskey—unlike anything the world has seen—and to foster a community of enthusiasts who share our passion.

Since May 31, 2023, we have embarked on this journey of whiskey-making, the name 'Whiskey&Co.' reflecting not only our craft but also our business model: a celebration of creativity and the people who bring it to life.

Whiskey&Co. Model

Our Business Model

Our Business Model
  • In The Town
    We have established a small-scale distillery in the heart of the city to foster mutual branding between the town and our facility. By focusing on quality "small-batch, limited-edition whiskey production," we aim to create a strong bond between our craft and the community.
  • Only Available In The Town
    By limiting the availability of our whiskey to the town where our distillery is located, we aim to increase interactions within the community. This approach not only fosters greater community engagement while enhancing the value of our "small-batch, limited-edition whiskey."
  • Aged In The Town
    Repurposing vacant houses and land into "whiskey aging warehouses" giving new life to unused properties. Each warehouse reflects the character of the town, infusing our whiskey with a unique identity that celebrates the local heritage.
  • With Our Token Holders
    By issuing tokens, we offer a unique way to access our small-batch, limited-edition whiskey outside the local area. Through the use of web3 technology, these tokens allow us to expand our connections beyond physical boundaries, fostering a broader community while strengthening the value of our brand.

Water Dragon

Water Dragon

‘Water Dragon’ is a feng shui term meaning "river flow," symbolizing the gathering of wealth where rivers converge. Inspired by the pure and abundant streams flowing through our town, we named our distillery 'Water Dragon' to honor and enrich the community.

To share this concept, along with our whiskey and the town of Mishima, with the world, we dove into the legends and stories rooted in this area, including the Dragon God legend, the Tale of Princess Kaguya, and the story of Minamoto no Yoritomo’s uprising, among others.

Building upon these local traditions, we crafted an original story of two dragons, a pair bound by fate. The memory of the female dragon, who ascended to the heavens after leaving water behind to save the male’s life, is honored inside the distillery. The male dragon, who remained to protect the town, is personified and has depicted his figure on the walls.

To us, whiskey-making is a "story" that unfolds over decades or even centuries, refined and perfected with time. With dedication to our craft, we aspire for the tale of these two dragons to one day become part of the rich lore of this land.

    Original ShochuKonohana
    A special shochu produced only once a year.
    Made with sweet potatoes from Mishima and black koji from Shizuoka, this shochu is crafted using a fermentation process that maximizes the unique characteristics of the sweet potatoes, enhanced by a carefully selected yeast. Departing from traditional methods, it employs an original technique using a bourbon-style cooker to capture the aroma of the sweet potatoes. Additionally, copper stills, rather than stainless steel, are used to create a smooth and rich flavor. This shochu offers a truly exceptional taste experience.
