The Kumesen Syuzo Distilling Co was founded nearly 70 years ago in Okinawa, Japan (yes, the same Okinawa that Mr. Miyagi was from). It's there that they began distilling Awamori, a local spirit made from Long Grain Indica Rice and fermented with native Black Koji.
Although this low proof alcohol was a local favorite, the distillery ventured out and began experimenting with higher proofs and aging in ex-bourbon casks. The result? extremely old single grain whisky.
Full of soft notes of Spanish Sherry Kujira Ryukyu 12yr Old Japanese Whisky is fruit-forward with subtly tart flavors lingering in the background.
Enjoy this bottle slowly, not just because it's hard to find, but because it has a long finish which you won't want to ignore.
Notes: Smooth, medium-bodied. Aromas and flavors of honey, molasses, vanilla, berries and citrus
Pairings: Herb chicken, pork buns, banana cream pie
Serving Suggestions: Neat or with a single ice cube
Region: Japan
Alcohol Content: 40%
