Barrel Awamori - 720ml
Barrel Awamori is distilled over direct fire using Ishigaki’s traditional kiln method, then left to mature for years in oak barrels. Production is deliberately limited, reflecting the precision and time required for this method.
The spirit is known for its powerful oak-driven aroma and a depth of flavour often compared to whisky, yet it retains a brighter, more refreshing character that makes it distinctly Awamori. Enthusiasts prize it for the way cask and spirit harmonise into a bold, aromatic whole.
This expression represents the philosophy of Yaesen Shuzo: the union of inherited craftsmanship and pioneering innovation. By introducing long-term barrel ageing to Awamori, the distillery set a benchmark in the industry. The result is a spirit where oak and Awamori merge seamlessly, offering a refined balance of the five elemental tastes.
From its hilltop home overlooking the sea, Yaesen continues to craft Awamori rooted in Ishigaki’s nature and culture, cherished by islanders and admired far beyond Okinawa.
