Rum Makugan is an artisanal, white rum crafted on Miyakojima island in Okinawa, Japan, by the Taragawa distillery. It is made from local sugarcane and coral-filtered water, featuring native yeast (MY17) fermentation, which gives it a, fresh, herbaceous, and fruity aromatic profile with hints of tropical fruit and a soft, mineral-rich finish.

The story within this bottle begins 500 years ago, along the shores of Okinawa’s iconic Ryukyu islands, where indica rice was fermented into the beloved native indulgence of awamori. The Hayashi 8 Year grows these same roots in new, revitalized soil. A single grain whisky aged eight years in bourbon casks is enriched by island air to a masterful oak and caramel complexity, flourished with tropical flavors unique only to the Hayashi name.
