Product
Kakushigura Mugi Shochu is a carefully cultivated and Oak Barrel aged Barley Shochu. A lovely golden hue promises hints of whiskey. As expected, a bright whiskey nose dominates the aromas. A sweet start mellows into a lovely woody middle followed by a surprising melon finish. The mouthfeel is neutral, but pleasant. The sweetness at the start dissipates almost as quickly as it arrives, leaving a much drier flavor profile than previously found in oaked mugis. The woody, more scotch-like flavors of Kakushigura provide a much different experience than the pronounced Bourbon notes found in more popular oaked mugi shochus.
