    Kura The Whisky

    The Helios distillery in Okinawa Japan may be more well-known for producing rums and awamori (a type of rice-based drink only produced in Okinawa), but they been known to dip their toe in the world of whisky. Kura The Whisky is a blended malt (or as the a label says, a "pure malt") produced by Helios and bottled at 40% ABV. Intriguing stuff...

    Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

    Nose

    Toasted oak and a touch of moss, creamy lemon and soft malt.

    Palate

    Brown sugar, burnt oak again (now with a touch of earthiness to it), lime marmalade.

    Finish

    Rye bread and a touch of bitter grape.

    Don’t fall for this marketing ploy

    It taste like a young Scotch that was smoked over a dumpster fire. Vile. May be the fist bottle of booze that I ever pour down my sink.

    The worst ever

    This is by far the worst whiskey I have ever tasted. It tasted like burn wood and cough medicine rolled into one bottle.

    Tastes like my new favourite!

    Great whisky, absolutely loved the smooth sweetness, very easy drinking - I think I found my new everyday dram!

    Tastes like Scotch stored in a barrel of asphalt!

    I was looking forward to this whisky since I had heard good things about it. Bought a 750 ml bottle at Costco for $45 (US). Saw it for sale online for $129 -$169! Costco must be a good deal! Couldn’t wait to try it! I was hugely disappointed! It’s described as tasting of sour grapes, earth, molasses...etc. It doesn’t taste like any of those things! It tastes like Scotch stored in a barrel of asphalt! It is frickin’ nasty! This is Scotch imported from Scotland to Okinawa, then stored in rum casks (how long?). I swear to God it tastes like Scotch poured over fresh asphalt! Don’t waste your money! Too many good whiskey’s on the market!

    Nice and would buy again!

    Found it very pleasant! Interesting idea to drink a whisky from Okinawa..
