AVAILABLE FOR IN STORE PICK-UP OR TO SHIP WITHIN CALIFORNIA 

Producer: Shinozaki Distillery
Category: Whiskey 
Attributes: Japanese Whisky 

Distiller Notes: 

"Takamine Koji Whiskey is made with the patented Takamine Process, which uses an ancient Japanese mold, koji, to convert starches to sugars in a process similar to malting barley. Unlike malt whiskey where sugars are extracted in a warm water mash before yeast is introduced to start the fermentation, both the koji and yeast are active at the same time in a multiple parallel fermentation. This 100% barley ferment is then double distilled and aged in virgin oak and ex-Bourbon casks." 

Tasting Notes:  

Nose: "A mixture of fruitiness and richness, with cherries and green apples." 

Palate: "Earthy quality with soil and mushrooms and fermented notes ranging from whole coffee beans to cigar wrappers" 

Finish: "Astringency with tannic oak and rooibos tea." 

Alcohol: 40%
