Sourcing of Japanese & other Asian whisky
Asian Alchemy is a specialist in the sourcing of Japanese whisky in bottles & casks. Japanese single malt whisky casks are rarely for sale, however Asian Alchemy & associates have developed relationships with independent distilleries to access casks both for investment & private bottlings. Independent Japanese distilleries are also seeking representation for their brands in international markets.
Asian Alchemy expertise is built around a few individuals with experience & networks who are fast-moving & adaptable. We provide effective commercial solutions on a case-by-case basis. We want productive & enjoyable partnerships.
