Kujira Ryukyu 20 Year Old, Bourbon Cask, 43%

Masahiro Distillery was established in 1883 by Masahiro Higa, the father of Masahiro Higashitsune, who served as the royal chef of the Ryukyu Kingdom. Benefiting from the esteemed reputation and extensive network of Masahiro Higashitsune, the distillery acquired a license to produce Okinawa's traditional distilled spirit, known as "Awamori," and has since emerged as one of the oldest and largest. Founded in 1952, Kumesen Syuzo (Masahiro Distillery) started distilling Awamori, an indigenous distilled alcoholic beverage made with Indica rice unique to the Okinawa islands of Japan. Around 1989, the distillery began aging Awamori in oak barrels, creating a unique 'Ryukyu Whisky'. This Kujira Ryukyu 20 Year Old is a single grain whisky, matured for 20 years in bourbon casks.
