Julius James - Small Batch Corn Whiskey | Philippines Whiskey

Julius James Whisky is the first wholly and domestically produced whiskey in the Philippines. It is made using Philippine corn.
Whisky—“liquid sunshine,” as playwright George Bernard Shaw so aptly put it—is the drink of both the devil and the angel. The same potion that ruins a man is the same one that forges brotherhoods. And with all the mentions that this famed moonshine has gotten in classic literature, we have to nod in agreement with the recent whisky boom in the collective Filipino liquor industry.
Among the bottles that bear varying names and designs, the Philippines finally has a contender in the ranks: Julius James. The country’s oldest family-owned distillery, Destileria Limtuaco launched the first wholly domestically created whisky, made purely out of corn. The Julius James is a tribute to third and fourth generation master blenders and purveyors of whisky in the Philippines, James V. Limpe and Julius T. Limpe.
Julius James 100% Corn Whisky is the first wholly domestically produced whisky in the country. It is rendered from top quality Philippine corn, sourced from Isabela then processed at their micro-distillery in Malis, Bulacan. Aged in proprietary square American oak barrels for a minimum of three and a half years—which speeds up aging and minimizes evaporation loss—with an accelerated maturation due to the Philippines’ hot and humid climate, the result is a whisky imbued with a unique flavor profile that is fresh yet full-bodied.
