Masahiro Pure Malt Whisky

Discover the refined taste of Masahiro Pure Malt Whisky. This exquisite Japanese whisky from sunny Okinawa is produced by the historic Masahiro Distillery, renowned for its craftsmanship and quality since 1883. As one of Okinawa’s oldest distilleries, Masahiro combines traditional techniques with modern innovation, resulting in a premium whisky full of character. Masahiro Pure Malt is a carefully balanced blend of pure malt whiskies, aged for more than three years in old sherry and bourbon casks. This is followed by a unique additional maturation of at least six months in a first-fill Jack Daniel’s bourbon barrel, adding pronounced complexity and depth. With an alcohol content of 43%, this whisky offers a harmonious balance of strength and subtlety.

Taste character of Masahiro Pure Malt

Masahiro Pure Malt Whisky is a Japanese whisky that you don’t just taste, but truly experience. This elegant whisky from Okinawa shines in the glass with a golden amber glow, reflecting the careful maturation process in sherry, bourbon, and Jack Daniel’s casks. On the nose, it opens with a seductive aroma of tropical fruits such as citrus, pineapple, and banana, beautifully framed by creamy vanilla notes. The first sip reveals a light, silky body with a nuanced malt base and fresh hints of ginger juice and white wood. The flavor is perfectly balanced: lively, fresh, and subtly layered, with a short but smooth finish where mild sweetness and gentle spiciness linger pleasantly. Masahiro Pure Malt Whisky pairs excellently with refined dishes such as grilled scallops with citrus butter, tuna tartare with ginger and soy sauce, mild cheeses like brie or young goat cheese, and desserts featuring dark chocolate and orange. It also complements duck with hoisin sauce wonderfully. Serve Masahiro Pure Malt at 18–20°C for the ultimate tasting experience.

Description

Producer

The Masahiro Distillery, founded in 1883 by Shobun Higa, is one of the oldest and most respected distilleries in Okinawa. With roots in the royal court of the Ryukyu Kingdom, where Shobun’s father, Shozoku Higa, served as head chef, the distillery was among the first to be granted permission to produce awamori, the traditional Okinawan spirit. This rich family tradition of craftsmanship and passion for high-quality gastronomy remains at the heart of Masahiro’s philosophy to this day: to create only the finest spirits. By combining tradition with modern innovation, Masahiro became the first distillery in Okinawa to earn ISO 9001 certification for quality management. In 2018, the eighth-generation heir, Masayasu Higa, successfully launched the award-winning Okinawa Gin, marking the first step toward international recognition as a producer of premium artisanal spirits, now including their exclusive Masahiro Pure Malt Whisky.
