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.

Plenty of peaty smoke for those into that, but it remains light on the tongue. The rum finish keeps a very low profile. Otherwise, I'm thinking woody pepper and plenty of grain. The permanence of the unique Okinawa islands is infused with this premium spirit. Crafted in exceptionally small quantities.
