Kujira 15 years old reveals aromas of dried plums, candied fruit, mint and chocolate. These notes create a delicate, fragrant first impression. On the palate, sweet elements such as chocolate, vanilla and honey offer a pleasant taste experience. These sweet flavors are then complemented by spices, light smoky notes and hints of toast, adding complexity and depth. The finish of Kujira 15 Years Old is slightly sweet with hints of licorice and pepper, leaving a delicate but persistent imprint.

Distilled in traditional pot stills from 100% premium indica rice, this whisky is matured for over 15 years in sherry, bourbon and American white oak casks. This meticulous maturation gives Kujira 15 years old its mellow taste and silky texture.

Thanks to the subtropical climate of Okinawa, where the distillery is located, storage conditions are warm and humid. This unique environment accelerates the maturation process, giving rise to subtle fruity and woody flavors, making Kujira 15 years old an authentic Japanese whisky marked by the characteristics of its terroir.

The brand

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.
