Kumesen Syuzou Kujira Ryukyu Shochu Awamori - 700 ml

Kumesen Distillery was founded in Okinawa in 1952.  Their first product was Awamori, a Shochu beverage distilled from special Indica rice and served at 30-40% ABV.  In 1989, they began to age their Awamori in oak casks, creating a rice-based whiskey with rich flavours. Their products are exceptionally popular in the Japanese islands.

Kujira Ryukyu is amber in color with notes of oak, vanilla, pear, and a hint of the sea on the nose.   The palate is smooth and sharp at the same time with notes of toffee and jasmine.  The finish is lightly sweet and clean.
