KUJIRA
KUJIRA KYOJIN Okinawa Whisky
Discover the extraordinary taste of Kujira Kyojin whisky, a transcendent Japanese whisky from Masahiro Shuzo in Okinawa, a revered distillery in the southernmost islands of Japan with over 138 years of mastery.
"Kyojin" means “giant” in Japanese, and it stands as the epitome of Okinawan whisky craftsmanship and the consistent quest for legendary perfection. As giants are often seen in mythology as creatures with incomprehensible powers, we see Kyojin as whisky with a powerful flavor profile that sets an impression of unforgettable whisky journey. Using premium Indica rice, Kujira Kyojin is crafted with meticulous precision and matured for 3 years in American White oak barrels.
With Okinawa's tropical embrace, the accelerated cask maturation process creates an intriguing flavor profile and unique tasting notes, representing the essence of the land, people, and their revered mythology.
