Kujira Ryukyu 12 Years old
Kujira Ryukyu Whisky 12 Years Old is a refined Japanese whisky from Okinawa, expertly crafted by the renowned Kumesen Syuzo Distillery. This exceptional whisky is distilled from 100% Indica rice, resulting in an exceptionally smooth and rich tasting experience. It then matures for 12 years in sherry casks, where the oak imparts deep, complex aromas and a full-bodied flavor. With an alcohol content of 40%, the Kujira 12 Years offers a perfectly balanced profile that is both approachable and sophisticated.
Taste character
Kujira Ryukyu Whisky 12 Years Old presents itself in a beautiful amber hue and entices with aromas of wild honey and sherry. On the palate, rich sherry notes merge with full molasses and a touch of glucose syrup, complemented by fruity accents, a subtle hint of balsamic vinegar, and delicate spices, resulting in a long, silky-smooth finish. Served at 18–22°C, the complex flavors are revealed to their fullest. This refined Japanese whisky pairs perfectly with dark chocolate, roasted nuts, or soft cheeses such as brie and camembert, and also makes a surprising match with teriyaki salmon or foie gras terrine.

Description
Producer
The Masahiro Distillery was founded in 1883 by Shobun Higa, the son of Shozoku Higa, who served as the royal chef at the court of the Ryukyu Kingdom. It went on to become one of Okinawa’s oldest and most renowned producers. Thanks to the connections and influence of the Higa family, Masahiro was granted an official license early on to produce Awamori, Okinawa’s traditional rice spirit. Since then, the distillery has stood as a symbol of authentic craftsmanship, with a deep-rooted passion for quality and flavor. Today, Masahiro Distillery combines this rich heritage with innovation, creating premium spirits—including refined Japanese whiskies—that are appreciated worldwide and reflect the unique culture and flavors of Okinawa.
