| Description: | Distillery: Kuroki Honten ⢠Prefecture: Miyazaki ⢠Mash Bill: 100% estate grown organic barley (including white barley koji) ⢠Distillation: Jo-atsu (atmospheric) ⢠ABV: 40% At a robust 80 proof drinks like a fine whiskey, but malting with koji gives it a complete unique silky texture and depth of flavor. Blended from a variety of shochu aged for 3 to 5 years in different casks, primarily new American oak. One of the most rare and sought after barley shochu in Japan, Hyakunen no Kodoku broke new ground in the 1990s, creating new levels of depth and complexity in what had been a simple regional drink up that point. Tasting Notes Hyakunen No Kodoku is a special, high quality shochu made by aging barley shochu in wood barrels over a long period of time. This shochu is made by a 100-year-old traditional method handed down since the 18th year of Meiji. It is distilled once in pot stills and then matured in wood barrels to produce a mellower and smoother rare shochu. |
