Lucky Cat Maneki Neko is a Japanese whisky bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) in a ceramic decanter shaped like a maneki neko, the beckoning lucky cat.
The maneki neko is a traditional Japanese good-luck charm, its raised paw beckoning fortune and prosperity.
This decanter shows the white cat in a red robe with gold details, holding a golden koban sign, with the Japanese words for beckoning cat and whisky on its front.
The whisky is light and approachable, with honey and oak notes.
A lucky cat makes a cheerful gift for a new business, a housewarming, Lunar New Year or any occasion that calls for good fortune, and the decanter stays on the shelf as a keepsake long after the whisky is gone.
