Tasting Notes

Kujira 5 Year Old Ryukyu is a fascinating Japanese single grain whisky, crafted from 100% Indica rice and aged in white oak virgin casks in Okinawa's balmy climate. Expect a mellow, sweet profile with caramel and vanilla notes, intertwined with oak spice and pepper. The nose offers hints of coconut, plum, and cherry, while the palate reveals baked apple, toffee, and a touch of molasses. It finishes with peppercorn, berry jelly, and drying oak. It's smooth, unique, and worth exploring if you're seeking something beyond the usual Scotch or bourbon.
