Kujira 12 Year Old Ryukyu Whisky

Okinawa’s prized Kumesan Syuzo distillery adds another artful island expression to the Kujira Ryukyu selection of locally crafted Single Grain rice whiskies. The rose-tinted watercolor wrapped around each limited-edition bottle hints at the soft notes of Spanish Sherry Casks that exclusively aged this whisky for twelve long, lovely years. This distinct process defines fruit-forward and subtly tart flavors, a semblance not too dry nor too sweet that makes this small batch stand out among the rest. If you’re lucky enough to find one, every sip will be worth the search.
