This project returns after about three years following the massive response to the previous sale.

About 'Tsubakuro no Whisky' 'Tsubakuro no Whisky' is a collaboration that blends Tsubakuro's unique humor with whisky aged in Okinawa's subtropical environment. It combines a cute appearance with an authentic taste, making it ideal for both drinking and collecting.

Pre-order Bonus Customers who purchase during the pre-order period will receive one bottle of 'Tsubakuro Fruit Sour Base' as a gift. One of the following three types will be included randomly: Salted Pineapple, Tankan, or Shikuwasa. These refreshing fruit sours can be easily enjoyed at home by mixing with soda water, perfect for the upcoming hot season. *Note: This bonus is exclusive to pre-orders on the online shop and will not be included after general sales begin.

Tasting Notes Aroma: Deep aromas reminiscent of vanilla from white oak barrels, spreading with brilliant notes of tropical fruits. Taste: A soft attack leading to a smooth mouthfeel where honey-like sweetness and a pleasant bitterness from the barrel harmonize. A mellow sweetness derived from rice follows, leading to a refreshing finish. Recommended Serving: Highball with a thick lemon slice. The citrus freshness and tropical texture stand out, offering an open, airy flavor reminiscent of Okinawa.
