About this product

Founded in 1952, Kumesen Syuzo started on distilling alcoholic beverages, unique to Okinawa islands of Japan, also known as Ryuku islands. Then around 1989, this innovative distillery started to age them in oak barrels, creating a unique kind of ji-whisky in its own category, thus named it the Ryukyu Whisky. With 20 years maturing in bourbon casks, Kujira as a single grain whisky provides a wonderful taste profile that has distinguished itself from its malt counterparts and creates a refreshing choice for spirits lovers.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Herbs, various plum fruits hint, prune, mint candy.
Palate: Balanced light body, sweet, vanilla, spice, smoky woodiness.
Finish: Japanese pepper, medium finish

Excellent Jap

Excellent aged expression. Single grain not single malt. Agree to other reviewers in general, favourful but lacking serious depth. Remember paying $350 when dannys first had it. Not sure id pay $600 for it again. Maybe in 20yrs time

Incredibly smooth and full of flavour. Being a single grain not only makes it a little unique but also quite special.

I had it as a gift, thanks to my friends.)) this is deep richness and excellent balance. I like its soft taste, elegantly deepened by vanilla, gentle peat and a sweet, tangly fruiteness. The best I have tried so far...
