Product of Japan

THE HACHI SHOCHU,  Brown Sugar (Kokuto), Cask Matured is a collaboration with Yayoi Shochu Brewery LPC,  a family owned craft distillery established in 1922 and one of the oldest on Amami Oshima Islands of Kagoshima in Japan and Hacchan who, somewhere along the way was also exposed to Whisky and the benefits of Cask Maturation. Made from brown sugar sourced from various producers in Okinawa and Thai Mai (Thai Rice) White Koji and single distilled under normal atmospheric pressure (making it a Honkaku Shochu) to retain the flavours of the underlying ingredient, this Batch 1 is a blend of 3 – 5 years Kokuto Shochu aged in refill/recharred virgin American White Oak casks to add layers of complexity and flavour to the original spirit.

Kagoshima Nanko Ume,
IMO Shochu

Volume 720ml
ABV 19%
Product of Japan

THE HACHI SHOCHU, Umeshu, is a collaboration with Ookubo Shuzo, a family owned farm distillery in Kagoshima and Hacchan, who has been singularly focused on showcasing Shochu, a hidden gem from Japan by offering a unique combination and layers of flavors overlaid on the original spirit. This Umeshu is another such example and is a combination of Koshu Yaki Imo Shochu (made from baked Kogane Sengan, a fluffy delicious variety of sweet potato with a lovely aroma and golden skin color and baked Annou Imo, a naturally sweeter variety of sweet potato with a yellow flesh and high viscosity), Kuro (Black) Koji and single distilled under normal atmospheric pressure making it a Honkaku Shochu) which has been aged for over 10 years (i.e Koshu) and some delicious Kanjuku (i.e. ripened) Nanko (refers to the variety) Ume (plum) from Kagoshima.

Nose:Distinctive aroma of Imo Shochu, the underlying sweet potato with a hint of smoked almonds
