Tasting notes for KIGO

"sensationally delicate and light type of shochu with soft nose of roasted chestnuts and hints of oak followed by gentle and smooth texture with subtle flavours of liquorice and touch of mint giving it a refreshing lift"

Tasting notes by Hyato Hishinuma of the Shochu Renaisance.
