Taru 12-YR Tsutsumi Shochu

Some brands have produced wine-life products that resemble whiskeys but in fact, are not whiskeys. These brands tend to sugarcoat that with a lot of advertisements and colorful slogans. However, Tsutsumi, a rather famous wine brand in Japan, decided not to do so. Right from the very first moment, the brand has always informed customers of the true nature of their products.

Indeed, Tsunami is among the few brands that do not attempt to conceal the nature of their wines: Taru 12-YR Tsutsumi Shochu is a seasoned shochu, not a pure 100% whiskey. But don't go away yet; why not halt your whiskey trip for a while to discover what 12 years in sherry barrels have done to this wonderful wine? You will be surprised!

The southern factory Tsunami has existed for about 150 years; and for around a third of that period, it has aged its shochu in sherry barrels. Hence, you can say that Taru 12-YR Tsutsumi Shochu is a single-barrel release with sweet aromas from the rice applied in the mash bills, accompanied by the sherry impact on the shochu as well as dried fruit and spices. Consider this tasty shochu as another option for you whisky enthusiasts!
