Misaka, the premium Japanese whisky range launched earlier this year by Hong Kong entrepreneur Harry Kartasis – founder of Global Drinks Limited – has won two Gold Medals and one Silver Medal at the prestigious World Whisky Masters 2024, organised by The Spirits Business.
The competition was judged by members of The Spirits Business editorial team and a panel of independent spirits experts. Misaka Mizunara Cask 12 Years Old and Misaka Sherry PX Cask 12 Years Old both earned Gold Medals, while Misaka Pure Malt received Silver.
“These awards are a testament to the craftsmanship of our distillery Minami Alps and the team of highly skilled master blenders who have perfected a whisky that can now call itself Gold Medal standard,” Kartasis commented.
“Each gift box will feature our Gold and Silver medals. We are grateful to all our partners who have supported our vision to create a world-class whisky brand.”
Note: Soon after Misaka’s launch, Moodie Davitt STUDIO* produced the bi-lingual (English and Chinese) video short below dedicated to the brand and its entrepreneurial roots. The film, featuring Chinese and English subtitles has been featured across The Moodie Davitt’s two WeChat platforms and our English language social media accounts.
Earlier, Moodie Davitt STUDIO also published a longer, nine-minute film (also below) which delves into the story in greater detail.
