"NEW MAKE" is the unaged spirit distilled from grains, representing whisky in its purest form before it is matured in barrels.
As you enjoy this spirit, imagine how time in the barrel will shape its character—deepening its flavors and evolving its aroma into the distinctive profile of a fine whisky.
Characterized by a rich, sweet aroma reminiscent of a pound cake made with raisins, bananas, and honey, this spirit also features a malty depth that hints at its youthful nature. It’s a creation brimming with potential.
At KUROKABEGURA DISTILLERY, a shochu distillery steeped in tradition, a wealth of whisky-related expertise has been developed over the years—from distillation and blending to maturation and the art of barrel rejuvenation.
