Asakura Barrel-Aged Shochu hails from the heart of Fukuoka, Japan.
Pure barley shochu is aged in American Oak Barrels for 8 years.
Barrel-aged shochu is the perfect transition for the Japanese whisky connoisseur who longs to venture into the familiar unfamiliar.
Asakura can be considered a hybrid of Speyside x Japanese innovation – the epitome of East meets West.
