Tsunuki (Hombo)
Southern Japan's Warm-Climate Whisky
Hombo Shuzo founded their second distillery in 2016, returning to the family's southern roots in Kagoshima. The warm climate creates rapid aging — 3-5 years in Tsunuki produces complexity comparable to much older Scottish whiskies.
The Story
Founded 2016
The Tsunuki Style
Warm-climate Japanese single malt — tropical fruit, rich oak, and intense flavour from accelerated maturation in Kagoshima's subtropical heat.
Signature Notes
Mars Tsunuki The First
