Review and Tasting

Sampled on 09/03/2022

Appearance:

Crystal clear.

Aroma:

Delicate. Fermenting rice, brown sugar, and black pepper.

Taste:

Bright and invigorating and cleansing acidity and mild spicy heat. Reminiscent of spicy yoghurt.

Aftertaste:

Long. A continuation of the palate with lingering spice.

Overall:

In the same way that mezcal connoisseurs favour unaged 'joven' for revealing unadulterated flavours from fermentation and distillation so this 'mizu' awamori captures and reveals notes from fermentation.
