Pure Malt

Pure malt whisky is a term used primarily in Japan to describe a whisky made entirely from malted barley, typically a blend of single malts from different distilleries or even different countries. In the Japanese whisky tradition, this category has been used by Nikka and Suntory to produce some of their most iconic and widely celebrated expressions. These expressions are increasingly sought after outside Japan and represent some of the best value in Japanese whisky when you can find them. At Whisky Estate, we source authentic Japanese pure malt whiskies alongside other notable expressions in this category.
