One of the most rare and sought after barley shochu in Japan, Hyakunen no Kodoku means “One Hundred Years of Solitude” and is named for the famous novel. It is made from a mash of 100% barley, grown locally on the distillery’s own organic farm, white koji to keep the flavor smooth, distilled at normal pressure to preserve oils, then aged undiluted in oak casks for three to five years to help it develop structure and fullness. Elegant and intense, with nuances of oak and cigar. Uniquely smooth with a concentrated flavor, with layers of coconut and fragrant barley. Sweetness becomes more pronounced when mixed with water, with various aromas that blend into a pleasant yet complex flavor. Mixing with hot water adds more body to a bouquet of various flavors.
