Very rare find here in the US! Bottles in the 60oz size are called "isshobin" ( 一升瓶), or one "sho" bottle (a measurement equal to 1.8L). Perfect for a large party, special occasion, or just a long night at home.

Iwai 45 is the same blend as Iwai Blue Label, but at a higher proof, at 45% ABV. What does this mean? It's perfect for cocktails!

Inspired by great American whiskies, this Japanese whisky is distilled with a majority of corn balanced with light malt, aged in ex-bourbon barrels. Get notes of pear and vanilla. The texture is heavy with a long, slightly smoky tail end. Ideal for a whisky highball or Old Fashioned cocktail.
