Hayashi - 8 Year Ryukyu Whiskey
The story within this bottle begins 500 years ago, along the shores of Okinawa’s iconic Ryukyu islands, where indica rice was fermented into the beloved native indulgence of awamori. The Hayashi 8 Year grows these same roots in new, revitalized soil. A single grain whisky aged eight years in bourbon casks is enriched by island air to a masterful oak and caramel complexity, flourished with tropical flavors unique only to the Hayashi name.
Every sip of Hayashi 8 Year Ryukyu Japanese Whisky is a voyage through the intricate layers of its flavor profile. This whisky boasts a complex and harmonious taste that reflects the mastery of Japanese distillation. Subtle notes of oak and vanilla, warm caramel, and a hint of tropical fruit create a symphony on the palate. The experience is marked by a balance that's both invigorating and comforting, and the finish is remarkably smooth and enduring, leaving a lasting impression that captures the spirit of the Ryukyu Islands.
