Kujira Ryukyu 12 years Japanese Whisky
Kujira Ryukyu Whisky 12 years is een verbluffende Japanse whisky van 12 jaar oud, zorgvuldig vervaardigd door de Kumesen Syuzo Distillery in Okinawa, Japan. Deze whisky ondergaat een zorgvuldige distillatie met Indica rijst, wat bijdraagt aan een soepele en rijke smaak. Na distillatie rijpt de whisky 12 jaar in sherryvaten, waardoor het eikenhout invloed heeft op het complexe profiel. Met een alcoholpercentage van 40% biedt deze whisky een harmonieuze.
This exquisite amber-hued whisky captivates with its enticing aromas of wild honey and sherry on the nose. On the palate, bold sherry influences seamlessly intertwine with rich molasses and a touch of glucose syrup, creating a luscious depth. Vibrant fruity notes emerge, delicately balanced by a whisper of balsamic vinegar and a subtle hint of spice, leaving a long, smooth aftertaste.
For the best experience, Kujira Ryukyu Whisky should be served at a temperature between 18-22°C, allowing its rich aromas and flavors to fully develop. It pairs beautifully with fine dark chocolate, roasted nuts, or a selection of soft cheeses such as brie or camembert. For a more adventurous pairing, try it alongside a dish of teriyaki-glazed salmon or a rich foie gras terrine.
Founded in 1952, Kumesen Distillery began by producing Awamori, a traditional Okinawan spirit made from Indica rice. In 1989, they innovated by aging Awamori in oak barrels, creating the unique Ryukyu Whisky. The Meiyo 17-Year-Old Single Grain Whisky, made entirely from rice and aged for 17 years in bourbon casks, stands out with its distinct taste, offering a refreshing option for adventurous whisky lovers.
