A special whiskey highball crafted by Japan's smallest distillery: 'AMAHAGAN Highball Edition Drops of God Can' to be released limitedly at FamilyMart nationwide from April 28, 2026

Nagahama Roman Beer Co., Ltd. (Nagahama City, Shiga Prefecture), which operates the 'Nagahama Distillery', the smallest whiskey distillery in Japan, will release the 'AMAHAGAN Highball Edition Drops of God Can 350ml' in limited quantities from Tuesday, April 28, 2026, at approximately 15,800 FamilyMart stores nationwide (*). (*) Number of stores as of the end of March 2026. Some stores may not carry the product. 'AMAHAGAN' leverages the malt base of the Nagahama Distillery and focuses on blending, the cornerstone of whiskey making. This time, by blending unblended whiskey post-matured in Chateau Mont-Pérat barrels featured in the wine comic 'Drops of God', we have created the perfect taste for highballs. It features a balanced flavor with a subtle sweetness and florality, complemented by a plump richness and deep aroma. The packaging uses newly drawn illustrations by Mr. Shu Okimoto, the same as the 'Drops of God AMAHAGAN Edition Chateau Mont-Pérat' released by Nagahama Distillery in October 2024. Synopsis of 'Drops of God' Yutaka Kanzaki, a wine critic who influenced the world's market value, passed away, leaving behind a wine collection worth over 2 billion yen. The supreme bottle at the pinnacle is the 'Drops of God'. Only the one who can guess the names and vintage years of the 12 wines 'The Apostles' and the 'Drops of God' chosen by him can inherit the estate. His biological son Shizuku and adopted son Issei challenge this 'Apostle' showdown! [Product Information] Product Name: AMAHAGAN Highball Edition Drops of God Can Ingredients: Malt, Grain, Spirits (Domestically produced) / Carbonic acid Volume: 350ml Alcohol Content: 8% Shelf Life: 540 days Suggested Retail Price: 328 yen (360 yen including tax) Release Date: Tuesday, April 28, 2026 Rising from the glass is a concentrated fruit aroma reminiscent of black cherries and plums derived from the Mont-Pérat barrels. The toastiness of Nagahama Distillery's malt whiskey overlaps with nuances of vanilla and subtle spices, spreading a deep aroma. When taken into the mouth, along with a mellow mouthfeel, a dense sweetness that melts into the flavor of malt spreads. When the carbonation pops, the silky smooth tannins and black fruit flavors characteristic of Mont-Pérat barrels are pleasant, sublimating into a luxurious and multi-dimensional taste. While leaving a ripe fruitiness, a dry finish wraps up the whole at the end, allowing you to enjoy a solid structure and elegant aftertaste. Started whiskey production in 2016 on the shores of Lake Biwa in Nagahama City, Shiga Prefecture. The smallest distillery in Japan also matures and blends overseas unblended whiskies in addition to single malts. Whiskeys are crafted with passion and ingenuity in Nagahama, where there is a severe temperature difference. [Company Profile] Company Name: Nagahama Roman Beer Co., Ltd.
