The Kujira 5 Years Japanese rice whisky bottle offers a distinctive expression crafted in Okinawa using traditional Awamori techniques. It delivers smooth fruit character, gentle sweetness and a warm oak finish.
Why This Whisky Is Unique
To begin with, Kujira is not made from barley but from long-grain Indica rice. This gives the whisky a soft and rounded profile. Moreover, it is aged for five years in carefully selected bourbon barrels. As a result, it shows vanilla, spice and tropical fruit in perfect balance.
