From The Official Website

Discover the extraordinary taste of KUJIRA Kyojin Okinawa 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 Okinawa 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.

~Tasting Notes~
Nose: A harmonious blend of warm spices, delicious white chocolate, and rich nuts is beautifully balanced by the vibrant zest of tropical fruits and subtle hints of rose.
Palate: The palate delights in a velvety burst of dark chocolate and nuts, enriched by exotic tropical fruits and hint of vanilla, and finishes with woody notes and a touch of baked fruit cake.
Finish: The palate is enveloped in a warm and dry embrace, with long-lasting notes of rich dark chocolate and sophisticated oak.
