Single Malt Japanese WhiskyKuju sora no.02

The ever-changing “Sky of Kuju” across the seasons—here capturing the “Winter Night Sky.”

The theme for this release is “a crisp, clear midnight winter sky.” This lightly peated single malt is crafted primarily from bourbon barrel and medium sherry cask whiskies, blended with a small portion of peated malt whisky. It begins with a pleasantly serene aroma derived from moderately dry sherry casks, followed seamlessly by Kuju’s signature oily spirit, unfolding into a complex and lingering finish. A subtle presence of peat emerges in the latter half, offering a gentle warmth that quietly evolves over time, accompanied by a touch of sweetness.

Brand Story“The Sky of Kuju”—Capturing Fleeting Moments Across the Four Seasons

Series Concept: “Capturing the fleeting moments of Kuju’s ever-changing seasons”

For the people of Kuju, the surrounding mountains have always been woven into the fabric of daily life. Locals have long looked to the peaks to read the passing seasons and shifting weather—noticing cues such as, “It’s going to rain this afternoon,” or “The mountains are capped in white; it’s turning cold.” We hope to share this majestic nature of Kuju alongside the daily rhythms of its people. Highlighting the distinctive character of Kuju Distillery’s spirit, the “Sky of Kuju” series captures and expresses these seasonal moments and impressions through each unique bottling.

”A crisp, clear midnight winter sky”

The theme of “sora no.2” is “a crisp, clear midnight winter sky.”Kuju is known as one of Japan’s premier stargazing spots, and the label features a design of a clear winter night sky.

This lightly peated single malt is crafted primarily from bourbon barrel and medium sherry cask whiskies, blended with a touch of peated malt whisky. It opens with a delightfully calm, dry aroma imparted by the sherry casks, seamlessly blending with Kuju’s oily texture to create a rich, drawn-out finish.

In the second half, a faint whisper of peat provides a soft warmth, quietly transforming alongside a delicate sweetness over time. We invite you to savor it neat, taking your time during a quiet evening to yourself.

A Lightly Peated Expression Crafted with Serene Whiskies to Evoke Pure Tranquility

On clear winter nights in Kuju, the air turns crystalline and the temperature steadily drops. A taut, serene stillness fills the atmosphere as a quiet darkness settles in, punctuated only by the glitter of stars in the night sky. Blender Takeishi captured this winter essence of Kuju by selecting and blending whiskies with calming, grounded profiles, imparting a deep aroma and an enduring, tranquil palate.

The composed notes upfront evoke the briskness of winter, while the emergence of gentle peat later in the profile delivers an exquisite warmth. It brings to mind a peaceful moment spent relaxing in the comfort of a warm home as the cold settles deeply outside and the night draws on. Please take your time, unwind, and enjoy it neat.
