Kujira 5 Year Whisky

Kujira Ryukyu 5 Year Old Single Grain Whisky is a distinctive expression from Okinawa, Japan, distilled from 100% premium Indica rice. Matured for over five years in first-fill White Oak Virgin Casks under the subtropical climate, this process imparts a truly unique flavor profile. The whisky opens with a sweet scent of caramel and vanilla, complemented by subtle notes of licorice, woody spice, and pepper from the cask. The palate is rich, smooth, and mellow, showcasing a lovely balance. The finish is enduringly sweet, reminiscent of a sophisticated combination of aged rum and cognac. Bottled at 43% ABV, this unique Ryukyu whisky has earned critical recognition, including a Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2021. Enjoy it neat to fully appreciate its depth and complexity.
