Hayashi 24 Year Ryukyu

Hayashi 24 Year Old is an exceptionally rare Japanese whisky crafted from long-grain indica rice and fermented with indigenous Okinawan black koji, then matured for 24 years in charred bourbon barrels, where the island’s hot, humid climate drives extraordinary depth, cohesion, and maturity far beyond its age.

Hayashi Whisky is an artisanal Japanese producer rooted in Okinawa, distinguished by its use of long-grain indica rice and naturally cultivated black koji unique to the island’s ecosystem. By combining traditional Japanese fermentation techniques with extended barrel aging in a tropical climate, Hayashi creates whiskies of uncommon maturity, nuance, and character that stand apart from mainland Japanese styles.
