Kujira 5 years old

Both whisky and awamori, this spirit elaborated by the Masahiro distillery is distilled in traditional stills, matured in bourbon barrels, and bottled in Japan.

Its round and sweet profile is expressed in the nose by greedy notes of vanilla and caramel coated with a light woody touch inherited from the oak barrel. When tasted, its character asserts itself with more pronounced caramelized and woody aromas that are accompanied by spicy and peppery notes on the finish.

Kujira 5 years is a 100% Japanese single grain whisky made from indica rice fermented with yeast and black koji, the microscopic fungus endemic to the tropical Okinawa archipelago. This blend of single grains matured for 5 years in oak barrels has benefited from the local climatic conditions of the cellar whose heat and humidity characteristics have shaped the depth and complexity of the profile.
