Kikori Whiskey Review

A bright and floral rice whiskey, Kikori is double fermented prior to distillation, then spends between 3 and 8 years aging in American and French oak barrels, and sherry casks. Its base ingredients and fermentation process deliver a fruity profile with a slight sour funk. Each sip is bright and refreshing, and ideal for summer drams.
