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.
Aged in Spanish Sherry casks and selected American Kentucky bourbon cask for 8 years this rice based whisky offers an unusual flavor palate that offers a delightful mix of sweetness and spices and fruity aromatics. A stand out among the category Kujira Ryukyu 8yr Old Japanese Whiskey is a delectable alternative when seeking out new experience.
Notes: Smooth, medium-bodied. Aromas and flavors of vanilla, herbs, spices and wood
Pairings: Sashimi, ribeye steak, bananas foster
Serving Suggestions: Neat or on the rocks
Region: Japan
Alcohol Content: 43%
