It's not often that we come across a new Japanese whisky. Yes there are new brands being developed and launched all the time, but this little whisky from the wonderful Helios distillery on Okinawa arrived as a total surprise. Helios Distillery produces a coveted 21-year-old Japanese Rum and finishes this whisky in those exceptional barrels. Absolutely, one of a kind!

Details
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.
