Launch of "Vanilla Amber", a Whiskey Infused with a Whole Vanilla Bean

KURAND Inc. (Headquarters: Adachi-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Yasuo Ogiwara) will launch "Vanilla Amber," a whiskey infused with whole vanilla beans, at their online liquor store "KURAND" starting from 17:00 on Tuesday, April 7, 2026. (https://kurand.jp/products/vanilla-amber) ## About "Vanilla Amber" "Vanilla Amber" is a whiskey that seals a whole Madagascar vanilla bean inside the bottle. High-quality natural vanilla is highly rare, and cost is typically an issue in standard commercialization. However, by utilizing a crowdfunding sales format, a limited-quantity production was realized. Fusing the hundreds of aromatic components possessed by vanilla with whiskey, a blended whiskey that fully brings out the individuality of vanilla has been completed. ## The Appeal of "Vanilla Amber" ### A Blended Whiskey Designed to Bring Out the Individuality of Vanilla To maximize the vanilla aroma, "Vanilla Amber" blends malt and grain whiskies, carefully selected for their natural sweetness derived from American oak casks, in a unique ratio. It was born in pursuit of an exclusive blended whiskey created "solely to enjoy vanilla." ### Cultivating "Your Preferred Aroma" Every Day. An At-Home "Additional Aging" Experience As the vanilla components slowly dissolve within the bottle, you can enjoy a process similar to additional aging right at home. Since the richness of the aroma increases over time, it is possible to tailor it to your preferred taste while testing its daily changes. It offers an aging experience matched to individual preferences, such as removing the vanilla when the desired aroma is reached or leaving it in to cultivate a richer flavor. ### Towards a New "Bottle" After Drinking. Fully Savoring the Vanilla Beans The vanilla bean can be reused after finishing the whiskey. By infusing it in a different whiskey or spirit, you can create another vanilla-scented liquor. Since it uses the world's highest peak materials, it is designed so that its characteristics can be fully utilized until the end, rather than ending with a single use. ## Product Overview ### "Vanilla Amber" - Genre: Liqueur - Alcohol Content: 43% - Volume: 500ml - Ingredients: Grain whiskey (manufactured in Scotland), Malt whiskey (manufactured in Spain), Vanilla **** - [Super Early Bird] Vanilla Amber: 5,940 yen (tax included) - [Early Bird] Vanilla Amber: 6,290 yen (tax included) - [Early Bird] Vanilla Amber 2-Bottle Set: 11,880 yen (tax included) - Vanilla Amber: 6,990 yen (tax included) - Vanilla Amber 2-Bottle Set: 12,580 yen (tax included) - Vanilla Amber + Thin Tumbler Glass / Silver Set fusing lacquerware technology and glass: 8,230 yen (tax included) - [Special Whiskey Tasting] Vanilla Amber + Exquisite whiskey not normally sold: 10,910 yen (tax included) ### - Product Name: Vanilla Amber - Sales Period: April 7, 2026 (Tue) - May 5, 2026 (Tue) 24:59 - Delivery Period: Scheduled to be shipped sequentially from mid-June onwards - Sales Method: Crowdfunding service "Kurafan!" - Project Details: https://kurand.jp/products/vanilla-amber ## Online Liquor Store "KURAND" KURAND is an online liquor store that opens up the world of craft alcohol.
