iichiko Saiten

Description

Shochu is the native spirit of Japan—a white spirit that offers an incredibly rich flavor, a light structure, and a smooth finish. Iichiko Shochu is made from 100% barley and crafted in the Oita Prefecture—a region famous for its dense cedar forest, mountainous terrain, and geothermal springs.

Crafted specifically for the modern bartender, iichiko Saiten is a full-flavored expression of 100% barley shochu at 43% ABV (86 proof) that is perfect for cocktails. The nose is redolent with aromas of honeydew melon, white grapes, and kabosu citrus, with a hint of soy, white pepper and barley notes.
