Why do we love this whisky?
“Kaijin” directly translates to “mysterious person” in Japanese, but more specifically refers to a long-feared sea monster that resided off the shores of Okinawa in the Edo period - it is said that sailors would drink Shochu (a distilled rice spirit) for strength to fight off the Kaijin, but a short while after the Edo period ended, whisky swept the nation and Masahiro Distillery was born. From its inception in 1883 they have been handcrafting spirits such as awamori and whisky using the very same method they do today! Aged in a blend of ex sherry and bourbon casks, and blended from both grain and vintage malt, this drop perfectly encapsulates the unique world of Japanese whisky.
