World Premiere
The day our first aged whisky
is poured into a glass.
Born on Rishiri Island and shaped by its climate —
Kamui Whisky K.K.’s first single malt.
Mash water, sea breeze, the swing of the seasons:
a bottle that holds the entire nature of this island,
uncorked in front of you for the very first time.
Be there for that first tilt of the glass.
