Kujira Ryukyu Whisky 24 Years old Bourbon Cask

Discover the rare and exclusive Kujira Ryukyu Whisky 24 Years Old Bourbon Cask, a premium Japanese single grain whisky. This unique whisky comes from Okinawa, the subtropical south of Japan, and is produced by the renowned Kumesen Distillery, founded in 1952. Known for its traditional Awamori production, Kumesen has combined centuries-old craftsmanship with whisky distillation since 1989, resulting in the creation of Ryukyu Whisky, a distinctive style made from 100% Indica rice instead of barley or corn. The Kujira 24 Years Old is aged for an impressive 24 years in first-fill bourbon casks, which, combined with Okinawa’s warm, humid climate, creates a deeply powerful and complex flavor. With an alcohol content of 43%, this Japanese whisky offers a perfectly balanced profile and a silky smooth mouthfeel.
