Hayashi 18 Year Ryukyu Japanese Whisky

Product Type: Whisky 

Size: 700mL

Proof: 40% Alc/Vol

Region: Japan 

Description: This single grain whisky carries an 18-year age statement but traces its roots back 500 years to the traditional Okinawan spirit of awamori. Hayashi continues this heritage with a contemporary approach. Pure indica rice is fermented using a rare black koji strain and aged in white oak barrels for 18 years. The nose offers a bittersweet profile with hints of harvest grains, while each sip reveals fresh orange notes balanced by a lasting woodiness. The whisky concludes with a well-rounded finish, enriched by additional woody nuances, offering a truly distinctive Japanese whisky experience.
