Kujira 8 Year Old (70cl, 43%)

Kujira 8 Year Old is a Japanese single grain whisky from the Shinzato Shuzo distillery in Okinawa, in a 70cl bottle at 43% abv. It is made from 100% long indica rice, fermented with whisky yeasts and a black koji particular to the Okinawa islands, then distilled by the method inherited from awamori, the region's traditional spirit. The whisky is a blend of single grains aged for eight years in sherry and bourbon casks under a subtropical climate. That climate shows in a light, refreshing and balanced profile.
