Japanese Malt Whisky — 43% ABV — 700 ml

The Kyoto Aka Obi Red Belt represents the vibrant heart of Kyoto’s whisky tradition — a masterful blend of craftsmanship, culture, and color. Produced at the Kyoto Miyako Distillery by Kyoto Shuzo Corporation, this whisky pays homage to the symbolic “Aka Obi,” or red belt, a mark of vitality and celebration in Japanese culture. Each bottle is adorned with a handwoven obi crafted in Kyoto’s renowned Nishijin Ori weaving style, radiating the warmth and energy of crimson silk.

Distilled exclusively from malted barley and aged in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks, The Kyoto Aka Obi Red Belt delivers a captivating harmony of richness and freshness. On the nose, layers of honeyed fruit, toasted oak, and subtle spice rise gracefully. The palate is round and velvety, revealing flavors of apricot, vanilla, and a gentle hint of pepper, balanced by soft tannins and a touch of dried citrus zest.

Bottled at 43% ABV, this whisky captures the elegance of Kyoto’s seasons — the liveliness of spring blossoms, the depth of autumn leaves, and the serenity of winter light. Its red belt signifies not only the artistry of Kyoto’s weaving masters but also the spirit of passion and perseverance woven into each drop.

A celebration of balance, beauty, and cultural reverence, The Kyoto Aka Obi Red Belt stands as a timeless expression of Japanese malt whisky excellence.
