White Oak Akashi
Blended Whisky
Kujira Ryukyu Single Grain Whisky 12 Year Old is a limited edition of Kujira series. It was distilled from 100% long grain Indica rice and matured in sherry casks for more than 12 years.
White Oak Akashi is the only whisky in the world that is made by a Toji, a grand-master in the art of sake making.
Kumesen Syuzo distillery has been operational since 1952, and its primary product is Awamori. Back in 1989, though, the distillery started experimenting with aging Awamori in different oak barrels. In 2018, it introduced its first 20 Year Old Single Grain Whisky aged in bourbon cask also known as Kujira Ryukyu whisky. In 2020, Kujira series was able to convince the distillery to once again share more of its previous aged rice whisky to the global market: Kujira 12 Year Old Ryukyu Whisky. It is a limited edition and has been selling out for the last few months. Only 500 bottles are left and reserved for Canada.
Tasting Notes:
Dominant sherry notes with a nice mix of molasses and corn syrup, the natural sweet aroma of this whisky makes it a delightful sip. The strong yet tart fruity taste refers to the very quintessential flavor associated with the extract from balsamic vinegar. Dry palate slightly decorated with a hint of sweetness like rum mousse.
A long aftertaste, first bitter, bring out a touch of enduring sweet. Sweet and full of flavor, just like a lovely combination of cognac and rum. The unique sourness doesn’t clash to the finish yet make this just perfect to drink.
