Established in 1883, Masahiro Distillery stands as one of the oldest and largest distilleries in Okinawa. Crafted with utmost care, Kujira Ryukyu Whisky is distilled from 100% premium rice and aged for over 15 years in Sherry, Bourbon, and American White Oak Casks. This extended maturation period imparts a mellow taste and silky texture to this exceptional whisky. The subtropical climate of Okinawa contributes to a warm and humid storage environment, hastening the maturation process. This unique setting enhances the development of delicate fruity and botanical flavors, resulting in a whisky of unparalleled character.
