Kujira Ryukyu 12 Year Old Single Grain Whisky

About Kujira Ryukyu 12 Year Old Single Grain Whisky

Kujira Ryukyu 12 Year Old Whisky is crafted at the Kumesen distillery on the Ryukyu Islands, Japan. The single-grain Japanese whisky is distilled from long-grain Indica rice that ferments with the help of black koji ― a type of mold that is used in sake and soy sauce production. The whisky matures for 12 years in sherry casks exclusively, with the subtropical climate providing perfect conditions for maturation. Complex and balanced, it's a fruity and sweet expression that's produced in small batches, distilled, matured, and bottled at 80 proof right there at the distillery.

About Japanese Whisky

Although maybe not be the first Spirit you would think of when Japan is mentioned; the Japanese make one of the best types of whisky in the world. It’s heavily influenced by scotch but with smoother and delicate notes.

The history of the Japanese whisky is not even a century old, but in this short time, the Japanese blended and single malts have taken over the world by storm and can easily go against their whisk(e)y counterparts from across the globe.
