The attached image is a screen capture from a TV show (@ ~00:12:30).

enter image description here

Unfortunately, it flashed for only a fraction of a second, and that's all that was shown.

Though the label on the bottle says "Japanese whiskey," I cannot identify any brand of Japanese whiskey that matches this label.

(This, in itself, does not mean much, though; I am pretty ignorant about Japanese whiskeys, in general.)

From the little Japanese I know, I thought that the character shown along the label's right edge was 神 (= かみ = gods), but I could not find any Japanese whiskey brand online that has this character on its label.

On the other hand, it is quite possible that this is not a real Japanese whiskey brand at all, but rather a made-for-TV prop.

Can anyone recognize this label, and if so, what is the brand?

(For what it's worth, here is a larger version of the same image.)

At 12:12 you have another shot, where you better see the shape of the bottle. together with the black cap in your screenshot maybe that rings a bell for someone who is into whiskey?

At 12:15 little more of the label, there it looks more like ...OREI than ...UREI. (or like David says in the comments, it could mean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yūrei, but can't find any brand with that name either)

I wasn't able to download the video, but maybe if you watch it in high quality you can see more details?

My personal guess is, they took a cheap bottle from a german super market and relabeled by the movie company to avoid legal issues. or they have a warehouse full of movie requisites and took the one that looks most like a whiskey bottle. surest way would be to ask the movie company.

At 1:28:26 it says:

Requisite: Dirk Breitenbach Stephanie Moldrings
