Kujira Ryukyu 10 Year Old is a Japanese single grain whisky from Masahiro Shuzo, distilled from 100% Indica rice. It matured for more than ten years in white oak casks and is bottled at 43%.
Masahiro Distillery was founded in 1883 by Shobun Higa. Its roots reach back to the Ryukyu Kingdom, where his father held the licence to produce awamori, Okinawa's traditional spirit.
The nose is rich and sweet, with buttery caramel and woody spice. Sweet, buttery caramel, roasted wood and liquorice come through on the palate, with clove and cinnamon. The finish is long and spicy, with some bitterness before the sweetness returns.
