Irish whiskey brand NEIT and Michelin-starred chef Endo Kazutoshi unveil limited-edition Silent Harmony collaboration

Irish whiskey brand NEIT has partnered with Michelin-starred sushi chef Endo Kazutoshi to release a limited-edition whiskey. Just 185 individually numbered bottles of Silent Harmony, produced in Ireland and launched in London, will be made available in early October this year. The release, which was developed jointly by NEIT and Chef Endo, aims to reflect both parties’ shared emphasis on craftsmanship and precision.

Positioned as a collector’s item, the release is priced at £2,995 per bottle. Its looks draw inspiration from Japanese ceramic artistry, featuring deep hues and textured finishes, with packaging design that pays tribute to Kazutoshi’s discipline and aesthetic, aligning with the brand’s broader effort to blend tradition with modernity. NEIT describe their philosophy as a merging of Irish distilling heritage with Italian design sensibilities, and have previously focused on collaborations that cross creative disciplines.

Endo Kazutoshi, originally from Yokohama, Japan, is a third-generation sushi master and the founder of the Michelin-starred Endo at The Rotunda in London. He is known for his meticulous attention to detail and reverence for traditional Japanese culinary techniques. The brand say, like the chef’s work, the whiskey was “crafted with patience, precision and time”, and that it “perfectly reflects the belief that what matters most often happens in silence”.

NEIT take a contemporary approach to traditional distilling, and Silent Harmony follows the pattern. A single-cask expression, it is triple-distilled, matured for 34 years in a bourbon barrel, non-chill filtered and bottled at natural colour – a process they say preserves the full character of the whiskey. According to the tasting notes provided, the edition features floral aromas of honeysuckle and chamomile, with a palate that includes apricot tarte tatin, wild herbs and a soft bitterness from wormwood and gentian. It finishes with dried hay, herbal complexity and a coastal salinity.
