The Hatozaki Lighthouse, the oldest stone lighthouse in Japan has been a guide for sailors navigating the turbulent waters before the port of Akashi since 1620. It is a symbol of dependability, openness to the wider world and trade which enables the exchange of goods and ideas. The lighthouse, which stands close to the distillery has been chosen as the perfect icon to represent this whisky.
