Japan’s Yoshino Spirits, in collaboration with Rumesco Agencies, has added four whisky expressions to its portfolio with Gebr Heinemann.
Kamiki Original Blended Malt is the “first whisky in the world with Japanese Cedar cask finish” said the brand owner, while Kamiki Dark Wood is an extra aged expression which is exclusive to travel retail. Kura the Whisky – Pure Malt and Kura the Whisky – Rum Cask Finish are from the Helios Distillery in Okinawa.
All four are listed in Heinemann Duty Free stores worldwide.
As reported, Yoshino Spirits aims to extend its global network in travel retail as part of a drive to become the country’s largest independent craft spirits exporter. It also plans to become Japan’s leading craft spirits importer.
Yoshino Spirits has appointed Rumesco Agencies to spearhead its business development in Europe. It noted the efforts of Rumesco Agencies Owner Rudy Leentjes in securing the partnership with Gebr. Heinemann.
Yoshino Spirits also has listings with Dubai Duty Free, Lotte Duty Free, Aer Rianta International and Dufry in selected locations worldwide.
