Tasting Notes
Nose
Ripened dark fruits, white pepper, and aged allspice mix harmoniously with subtle citrus & morning dew.
Palate
Wood fiber soaked with light cardamom, delicate cream, and tangerine is followed by a rising crescendo of clean spices with a lingering touch of herbal tea and steamed rice.
Finish
Distant sea salts arrive with a balanced amount of dried wine as the oily peppermint and candied sweetness allow for a clarified and complex lasting experience.
About
Ikikko begins as shochu produced in accordance with the Iki Shochu G.I. which stipulates a mash bill of two-thirds barley and one-third koji rice. The use of koji rice imparts a unique umami throughline and the aging in Oloroso sherry casks doubles down with additional layers of dried fruit and nuts.
