Helios Shuzo

Helios Shuzo, a sake brewery in Okinawa Prefecture, had a past of making whisky in-house in the 1980s, and it was shipped both domestically and internationally. Since the whisky boom came under fire, the whiskys produced at the time remained stored. In 2016, Lawson talked about whisky sales, and limited editions of “Reki 15” and “Helios Whisky Reki (200ml)” were sold. As a result, Helios Sake Brewery has resumed its own whisky production.

On December 31, 2020, we launched Okinawa’s first single malt whisky “Kyoda Cask Strength 2020”. Using British peat malt as a

raw material, malt whisky prepared and distilled in-house in 2017 was aged in oak barrels for 3 years. The label is designed to recreate the pre-dawn atmosphere of the mountains near the distillery. The product name adopted the place name Kyoda and expressed it with powerful brush letters. The single malt whisky “Kyoda Cask Strength 2020” is a whisky with a smoky aroma and depth derived from peat malt. It is 60.9% of the alcohol level of the barrel out, and it is “cask strength” that does not add water.
