Kujira Ryukyu 20 Years Single Grain Bourbon Cask 鯨琉球威士忌 20年 單一穀物 (750ml 43%) 日本琉球有名的「泡盛」,相信大家都不陌生,這是一種以稻米為原料的蒸餾烈酒,但如果入橡木桶熟成會是怎樣的風味呢? 琉球當地有名的久米先酒造推出的「鯨」,使用優質米種及特有的黑麴菌發酵,實驗性以波本桶熟成,並長達20年時間,酒精濃度43%裝瓶。 當然這種泡盛米酒並非以麥芽為原料,故被歸類成single grain,至於能否被稱為whisky雖有爭議,但品酒不受限,喜好嚐試的您不妨來試試這款米製烈酒的滋味。 行家報告~ 香氣︰草本植物,梅子,薄荷糖 口感︰平衡輕盈的酒體,甜美,香草,香料,煙燻木質 尾韻︰甘草,辣椒,中等尾韻 |
Founded in 1952, Kumesen Syuzo started on distilling alcoholic beverages, unique to Okinawa islands of Japan, also know as Ryuku islands. Then around 1989, this innovative distillery started to age them in oak barrels, creating a unique kind of ji-whisky in its own category, thus named it the Ryukyu Whisky. With 20 years maturing in bourbon casks, Kujira as a single grain whisky provides a wonderful taste profile that has distinguished itself from its malt counterparts and creates a refreshing choice for spirits lovers.
