Nankai Kokuto Gold

Tasting Notes

Nankai Gold Shochu is a rich and satisfying spirit with a complex blend of green apple, vanilla, spice, and citrus peel notes. It has layers of fruit, floral, and malty aromas, complemented by gentle notes of raisins, chocolates, and honey. The finish is a delicious combination of caramel, chocolate, and raisins. One of the unique features of this shochu is that a portion of the blend is single-distilled using vacuum distillation, which creates a smooth and gentle finish. This distillation process preserves the luscious flavors and aromas of the source grain, resulting in a high-quality spirit that is perfect for sipping and enjoying.
