Kikori: the first Japanese whiskey to be distilled from 100% rice.

Kikori Whiskey was founded in 2015 by Ann Soh Woods, a visionary who wanted to redefine Japanese spirits. She succeeded: Kikori is one of the first whiskeys to be distilled from 100% rice, which gives it a delicate smooth character (most Japanese whiskies are made from barley). Crafted in Kyushu using the local, pure mountain water and aged in American, French and sherry oak barrels for three years, Kikori offers a fragrant, floral aroma and a velvety smoothness, with notes of melon and vanilla. For those seeking a whiskey that’s distinctively Japanese and uniquely smooth, Kikori is the essential choice, adding artistry and elegance to every pour.
