BENIOTOME

 

Tasting Notes

The pronounced nose of roasted grains coalesces around toasted sesame, reminiscent of black sesame ice cream. The initial taste is surprisingly neutral, but that quickly gives way to a rich sweetness of full-on toasted sesame. A smooth, mellow mouth-feel slides into the finish of peanut butter. It’s completely unique in the shochu world and you’d be hard-pressed to find a spirit of any kind that rivals its nuttiness.
