Kura Rum Cask Finish Whisky

Kura Rum Cask Finish Whisky. Helios Distillery in Okinawa Japan has been known for producing rums and awamori for a few decades. Little do people know that they’ve been distilling their own whisky for a while and use their rum casks to finish this unique line of new blended whisky. An interesting addition to the world of Japanese whisky.

Nose: Toasted oak and a touch of moss, creamy lemon and soft malt.

Palate: Brown sugar, burnt oak again (now with a touch of earthiness to it), lime marmalade.

Finish: Rye bread and a touch of bitter grape.

Made in the southernmost region of Japan, the exceptional “Kura The Whisky” is the result of careful aging in American White Oak. Finished in Japanese rum casks, its remarkable sweet aroma is accompanied by its distinctive mellow taste. The permeance of the unique Okinawa islands is infused with this premium spirit. Crafted in exceptionally small quantities.
