Kura The Whisky Rum Cask Finish

Kura The Whisky Rum Cask Finish is a distinctive Japanese blended malt from Helios Distillery, based in Okinawa at the southernmost reaches of the Japanese archipelago. Established in 1961 and renowned for its traditional awamori and rum production, Helios draws on its expertise with both spirits for this expression, finishing Kura The Whisky in casks that previously held rum.

The rum cask finish enhances the whisky's naturally fruity and sweet character, bringing notes of mango, apple, blood orange and caramel alongside toasted oak and soft malt. Hints of brown sugar, creamy citrus and gentle char add further depth, resulting in a smooth, rounded whisky with an approachable sweetness and subtle tropical character.

An appealing introduction to Japanese whisky, Kura Rum Cask Finish combines soft malt and vibrant fruit with the rich, warming influence of rum-seasoned oak.
