{"product_id":"barley-shochu-mugi-sg-shochu","title":"Barley Shochu 'Mugi', Sg Shochu","description":"• Barley shochu produced in the Oita Prefecture of Japan by Sanwa Shurui in collaboration with SG Shochu\n• Distilled from 100% Barley\n• Saccharification is done with white koji (propagated on barley)\n• Blend of shochu distilled once on a stainless steel pot still using either atmospheric or vacuum-distillation\n• Blend consists of five types of barley shochu genshu (undiluted shochu), each with a different koji ratio, distillation pressure, and aging method\n• MUGI combines unaged barley shochu with shochu matured in a combination of American oak barrels, ex-sherry butts, and stainless steel\n• Delicate aromas of sweet, toasted cereal, fresh parsley, and roasted carrot lead to a palate of green peppercorn and fresh, buttered poppyseed rolls. Toasted cereal returns on the finish along with white flowers and a touch of mushroom umami\n• Gold Medal Winner at the 2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition\n• 40% ABV\nThe variety of methods used to age the components of MUGI result in a rich and dimensional shochu that intuitively lends itself to interpretations of whiskey or brandy-based cocktails, but don’t stop there—this versatile shochu can substitute or pair with aged rum, genever, or Old Tom gin and beautifully complements fruit eaux-de-vie. For a food pairing, try MUGI with roasted meats and hot pots.","brand":"Sg Shochu","offers":[{"title":"1 \/ 750ml","offer_id":47870050402409,"sku":"JP-XSG-02-NV","price":81.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/winechateau.com\/products\/barley-shochu-mugi-sg-shochu","provider":"Wine Chateau","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
