Surprisingly, this shōchū is very smooth, round, very rich and fragrant in mouth.
Aromas, slightly smoky, evoke mocha, caramel fudge, vanilla, fermented banana, white flowers (lily of the valley, honeysuckle), all on fresh and lactic notes. Mouth feeling is floral, a very light elegant bitterness, lactic accents, touches of narazuke (small fermented melons), peppery and spicy notes and dried fruits (grapes...).
According to the purists, this shōchū must be consumed at room temperature or on ice. It will be perfect for whisky lovers!
Shôchu's Distillery is located in Nishiki Machi, in the center of Kuma Shochu or Shochu Valley, Kumamoto Prefecture, Kyushu Island.
