Yanagita Distillery Aokage Barley Shochu
Yanagita Distillery Aokage Barley Shochu is a dense, flavorful barley shochu from Miyazaki that drinks surprisingly light, made from 100% two-row barley including black barley koji. It is bottled at 25% ABV (50 proof) in a 720ml bottle.
The Story of Aokage
It is distilled at atmospheric pressure with Kirishima basin spring water. Yanagita-san changes the direction of the heat entering the still to toast the liquid, creating roasty notes, then the spirit ages in glass tanks and is filtered by hand through custom horsehair strainers.
