Tasting Notes
Yanagita Distillery’s signature 100% barley shochu is aged for 1-3 years in famed Japanese Mizunara oak. The aging imparts a beautiful golden color and a silkiness to the final product that is reminiscent of fine Japanese whiskey but has the inherent koji richness and umami distinctive to shochu.
