DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
• Sweet vermouth-inspired aperitivo produced by the Tsutsumi Distillery in the Kumamoto Prefecture in Kyushu, Japan • Made from a Junmai sake base and fortified with 100% rice-based shochu • 5 botanicals include yomogi (Japanese mugwort), yuzu, kabosu (a high-acid citrus fruit), sansho peppercorn, and ume (Japanese green plum) • Sweetened with kokuto (Okinawan raw cane sugar) • Aromas of stewed cherry, orange peel, brown sugar, and wood spice; the palate is bright and acidic with the kabosu and yomogi notably dialed up, lending notes of black tea, tart cherry, and citrus zest; the ume is prominent throughout, providing subtle marzipan and oxidized fruit notes similar to umeshu (Japanese plum liqueur) • Beer and Wine License eligible • 18% ABV Building upon a rebalancing of the four base botanicals of the drier, flagship Bermutto, OKA Sweet Bermutto incorporates a powerful fifth ingredient: a bitter Japanese plum called ume. Ume’s tart astringency is right at home in this bitter botanical blend and is perfectly complemented and balanced by raw cane sugar from Okinawa.
