This whisky has been aged exclusively in virgin white oak casks for over 10 years, revealing rich, complex flavors. With its refined palette of flavors and smooth texture, Kujira 10 Years offers a captivating taste experience.
On the nose, buttery notes intermingle with toffee aromas, while spices such as pepper subtly evoke American grain whiskies. On the palate, it is soft and buttery, with hints of caramel and wood, accompanied by a touch of licorice. Spicy flavors like clove and cinnamon add further depth. The finish is remarkable, with a slight bitterness and a long persistence of spices that melt into a residual sweetness, creating a memorable conclusion.
Kujira 10 Years Old has already won numerous awards, including Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2021, Silver at the International Spirit Challenge 2020, International Wine & Spirit Competition 2021 and International Spirits Challenge 2023.

The brand Kujira Whisky
Pioneer of a new kind of whisky, Kujira innovates in grain whiskies by exploiting a cereal hitherto unused for whisky and more traditionally associated with other Japanese spirits.
Grain whiskies made from rice, these whiskies also called Ryukyu whiskies from the name of the ancient kingdom of Okinawa, draw their roots from the ancestral know-how of Okinawa distilleries in the production of Awamori.
