our tasting notes
Nose
Toasted oak and a touch of moss, creamy lemon and soft malt.
Taste
Brown sugar, burnt oak again (now with a touch of earthiness to it), lime marmalade.
Finish
Rye bread and a touch of bitter grape.
about
Limited to 2,000 bottles worldwide, the Kura The Malt is a completely different expressions of Japanese Whisky. The smokiness of the rum finish is unique and adds a different type of sweetness than you find in sherry aged whiskies. This little number distilled by the Helios Distillery in Okinawa is sure to delight fans of Hakushu and Yamazaki.
Factor in the price and just about anyone will be elated! Helios Distillery is been known for producing rums and awamori for many decades. Their flagship whisky is one of the most unique and enticing Japanese whiskies we've ever come across. They begin with peat sourced from the mires of Hokkaido.
The Japanese peat has a lot of the same characteristics as Scottish peat, but availability is extremely limited. One of the easiest drinking peated whiskies we've ever featured that's approachable yet brimming with character and finesse.

I have had some cracking samples from my whiskyloot subscription but I doubt I have been as excited about what is coming until this was announced - the Deanston 15 Organic a 🏴 Highlands (near Stirling) single malt with a genuine 'organic' statement;
AGE: 📍15
ABV: 📍46.3% (the sample label is wrong)
NCF: 📍yes indeed
NAC:📍yes indeed
V4M:📍well priced if found
Full disclosure. I love Deanston. Official. Independent. It doesn't matter, these days they nail everything. I have never tried this, or even seen one before in the wild.
Nose: so highland, honey'd with heather and slight vanilla'd summer fruits. A clean cereal note and a touch of decent Australian/NZ Sauvignon Blanc
Palate: oily but still that Highland creaminess, so crisp again with green apple and nashi pear and oozing honey, such that you can almost feel it slowly dripping down you teeth.
Finish: crisp again. Woody with lovely oak notes, gentle spice white peper heat and honey'd sweetness to balance that out. Long. I am sold. Sign me up.
That is a solid 9.25⭐'s out of 10 for me and has me now hunting one down to see how a full 70cls opens over the journey.
Recently received a 3 month subscription to Whisky Loot from my girlfriend. Not only was it an awesome suprise but i get another each month for the next two months. It's the gift that keeps on giving!
The Whisky itself was great, i enjoyed all 3 samples and it's enough to make your Friday night a really good one without any of the hassle in the morning.
The option to buy the full sized bottles at a discount rate is great and I'll be placing an order today for the Balvenie Triple Cask.
This is a great gift for any whisky drinker even if they're not a serious collector.
Chivas Royal Salute 21 Year Old Scotch Whisky (700ml)
Fantastic gift idea, something different. Also love the packaging, notes and prompt delivery each month of interesting whiskeys. Also like the option to take a break and opt out when you need.
Brilliant service, excellent quality whiskys. Cant recommend this service more highly to anyone looking to get a unique and diverse experience of top shelf whiskys.
