Kikori Japanese Whiskey is a pioneering spirit that redefines traditional whiskey-making by utilizing 100% locally grown rice from the lush fields of Kumamoto, Japan. Distilled with pure mountain water and aged for a minimum of three years in a combination of American oak, French Limousin oak, and sherry casks, Kikori offers a delicate and nuanced profile that bridges the gap between whiskey and sake. Founded by Ann Soh Woods in 2015, Kikori stands as one of the first Japanese rice whiskies introduced to the U.S. market, embodying a harmonious blend of Japanese craftsmanship and innovative spirit.
This whiskey's unique composition and aging process result in a light, smooth, and aromatic spirit that appeals to both whiskey aficionados and newcomers alike. Its versatility makes it an excellent choice for sipping neat, on the rocks, or as a base in refined cocktails, offering a fresh perspective on what whiskey can be.
