Kujira Okinawa Whisky 15 Years Old

Rooted in tradition, Masahiro Shuzo Distillery in Okinawa proudly presents Kujira 15 Year Old Whisky—an embodiment of unparalleled craftsmanship. Distilled from 100% premium Indica rice and complemented during mashing process with Okinawa’s indigenous black koji, this outstanding whisky goes on a diligent journey in Sherry, Bourbon, and American White Oak casks for over 15 years, resulting in a sublime taste and silky texture. Enhanced by Okinawa’s subtropical climate and meticulously aged in hand-selected oak barrels, its smooth, complex and full-bodied texture flows across the palate with the grace and prowess of a great whale navigating the deep, and its intriguing flavor complexities unfold to mystify and delight with every sip.
