Japanese Malt Whisky — 43% ABV — 700 ml

The Kyoto Nishijin Ori Murasaki Obi Purple Label is a masterpiece of Japanese craftsmanship that merges whisky making with Kyoto’s centuries-old textile tradition. Produced at the Kyoto Miyako Distillery by Kyoto Shuzo Corporation, this exceptional malt whisky honors the city’s celebrated Nishijin Ori weaving technique — each bottle dressed with a hand-woven obi fabric in regal purple, symbolizing elegance and cultural prestige.

Distilled from 100 percent malt and aged in carefully selected oak casks, the Purple Label reveals remarkable complexity and balance. On the nose, soft layers of honey, toasted oak, and dried fruit mingle with delicate florals and a wisp of smoke. The palate unfolds with notes of vanilla, caramel, and baking spice before transitioning into hints of roasted nuts, malt sweetness, and a subtle mineral edge that lingers long after each sip.

The whisky’s rich amber hue and velvety texture reflect Kyoto’s seasonal rhythm — warm summers, crisp winters, and gentle mountain breezes that shape its maturation. Bottled at 43 percent ABV, it captures the harmony of tradition and modern refinement that defines the Kyoto Miyako Distillery.

A true collector’s expression, The Kyoto Nishijin Ori Murasaki Obi Purple Label stands as a tribute to Kyoto’s dual mastery of spirit and art — where beauty is woven not only into silk, but into every drop of whisky itself.
