KuraTheWhiskyPureMalt(700mL)

<p>Premium Whisky from the paradise island of Okinawa.</p><p>On a paradise island of <em>Okinawa</em>, halfway between the mainland and <em>Taiwan</em>, a distillery was established in <em>1961</em>. Eight years later it became known as <em>Helios</em>, named after the Greek Sun god. Their philosophy has always been producing fine Spirits from locally grown ingredients, whether it’s Rum, Spirits or Liqueurs. Their main products are<em> Rum and Awamor</em>i (a sort of Indica rice Shochu), but under the radar, they also produce premium Whisky.</p><p><em>Kura the Whisky </em>(“kura” means a <em>storehouse</em>) is one of the most unique Japanese Whiskies, whose life begins in peat marshes of <em>Hokkaido </em>(very similar to Scotland). Heavily peated Spirit then joins other Okinawa Single Malts in a careful blend after it spends years in <em>American oak casks</em>. Brown sugar, burnt oak, and lime marmalade dance around on the slightly earthy palate and result in lingering rye bread and bitter grape that show up on the finish. <em>Some seriously premium Japanese juice.</em></p>
