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.
