The Essence of Shin Whisky

The Essence of Shin Whisky

Since its inception in 2012, Shinano has embodied the principle of “Integrity,” a core value of the revered Samurai tradition. This commitment to integrity led to the creation of the “Shin” brand, dedicated to offering high-quality, pure liquor to discerning customers. Collaborating with distilleries that share this ethos, Shinano has developed a diverse portfolio of uniquely Japanese alcohol products, including Whisky, Umeshu (plum wine), and Yuzu Wine. This journey has been marked by fruitful partnerships with renowned establishments such as Shinobu Distillery, Eigashima Distillery, and Asahara Brewery, ensuring that every bottle under the Shin label reflects excellence and authenticity.

Shin Whiskies, a cornerstone of the brand, are crafted in two distinguished distilleries. Shinobu Distillery, located in the picturesque seaside region of Niigata, is celebrated for its “Three White Treasures”—snow, rice, and sake—which have been integral to the area’s heritage for centuries. On the other hand, Eigashima Distillery, one of Japan’s oldest family-run distilleries, boasts over 100 years of whisky-making expertise.

Together, these distilleries bring a rich tapestry of tradition and innovation to Shin Whiskies, ensuring that each sip delivers a true taste of Japan’s storied craftsmanship.
