Hayashi 18 Year Ryukyu Japanese Whisky Online

This single grain whisky wears an 18-year age statement, yet its story begins 500 years ago with the native Okinawan spirit of awamori. Hayashi upholds this tradition with a modern distiller’s touch. Pure indica rice is fermented with a rare strain of black koji, then aged in white oak barrels for 18 years. A bittersweet nose meets the scents of harvest grains while every sip is filled with fresh oranges offset by a lingering woodiness. More woodsy delight completes a well-balanced finish to this unique and unmatched Japanese whisky experience.
