Kokoro Spirits

We curate premium spirits from around the world not only to honor a region’s traditional distillation methods but also to celebrate and share their culture and communities.We intend to be the premier destination for spirits enthusiasts who are looking for highly curated and multicultural experiences. We see ourselves transcending from a premium independent bottler to an international lifestyle brand, all while doing our part in preserving the legacy and richness of different cultures from across the world.Given the Company’s limited operating history, the Company cannot reliably estimate how much revenue it will receive in the future, if any.
