Crazy Octopus Chili Shochu

Special features: The Crazy Octopus Chili Shochu from Japan is produced by the Yamaya Distillery Co. in Miyazaki Prefecture. This distillery, in operation since 1956, is known for producing high-quality Honkaku Shochu and liqueurs. The Shochu is made from sweet potatoes and is characterized by maceration with red chili peppers, giving it a distinctive spiciness. With an alcohol content of 25%, it offers a balanced drinkability that unfolds optimally both neat and in cocktails. The products of the Yamaya Distillery Co. benefit from particularly pure and mineral-rich water from the region, which gives them remarkable softness.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: The nose reveals aromas of dried chili peppers, complemented by floral impressions of roses and bright red fruits.
• Palate: On the palate, it starts gently and unfolds delicate chili skins and seeds, gradually building to a warming, tingling sensation.
• Finish: The finish leaves a slightly tingling sensation and supports the gentle spiciness of the chili peppers.
