Tomoe Gozen, the most feared female samurai in Japanese history, was just as as ruthless as she was beautiful. Legend says that she led as many as 1,000 soldiers on the battlefield, being a top military leader in the 13th century. Her weapon of choice was a long curved blade called a naginata, and a short dagger called a kaiken. Tomoe translates to “comma”, and is a comma-like swirl shape on Japanese family crests, a pattern that she wore on her samurai shoulder pads. Gozen is an ancient title given to women of honor.

"The Bottle: This is not some cheap gimmicky bottle. This is bottle cover is made from thick heavy metal, really cool. Will be on the display shelf long after the contents are empty The Liquid: Very balanced, you really get a lot of different nuance in here without any specific flavor overpowering the whiskey. A bit malty, some spice and sweetness with a bit of fruit in there too. Really a great find."
