Kaijin Blended Japanese Whisky Limited 700ml

Crafted within the hallowed walls of the Masahiro Distillery in Okinawa, Japan, a bastion of tradition since '1883,' emerges the embodiment of a legendary sea tale - Kaijin. With a name that resonates with the depths of the Edo period's maritime myths, "Kaijin" translates to "Sea Man," an enigmatic sea monster that stirred the imagination. The cradle of Okinawa, a tropical paradise famed for its marine myths, provides the perfect backdrop for this entrancing creation.

The Kaijin Japanese World Whisky Blend stands as a testament to the art of blending, distillation, and storytelling. Meticulously bottled, blended, and aged within the very heart of Masahiro Distillery, this whisky paints a vivid canvas of flavours, transporting the senses on an odyssey of taste and lore.

Embracing the Essence:

Akin to the sea's unfathomable depths, this whisky's journey into existence takes root within the tranquil alcoves of Okinawa. An island adorned with tales of sea creatures and mysteries, it is a fitting cradle for the Kaijin. In a world where every sip is a nod to ancient myths, the Kaijin carries the essence of its birthplace in every drop.

A Symphony of Age and Aromas:

At the heart of this symphony lies a whisky aged to perfection, 3 years of maturation that distils time into the flavour. The orchestration of Ex Sherry and Bourbon Casks imparts a unique character, infusing the whisky with a melody that dances across the palate.

As the golden elixir graces the senses, the aroma unfolds like a warm embrace. Stewed fruits, bathed in their own essence, mingle harmoniously with the sweetness of maltose. The canvas is further adorned with delicate brushstrokes of milk chocolate, a prelude to the decadence that awaits.

An Overture of Palate Pleasures:

With the first sip, the palate embarks on a journey that traverses the realms of taste. A symphony of chocolate tart dances upon the taste buds, intricately layered with subtle ground spices that evoke warmth and nostalgia. As the experience unfolds, a citrus peel undertone emerges, lifted by the ethereal zest of citrus, a reminder of the sea's bracing embrace.

A Lightness that Lingers:

The Kaijin's journey concludes with a light yet enduring touch. A light mouthfeel imparts a sense of elegance as the whisky caresses the palate. The lingering notes of chocolate and citrus, reminiscent of distant shores, stay with you, like the echoes of a long-forgotten sea shanty.
