St George California Shochu 750ml

Description

St. George California Shochu 750ml

Our shochu is distilled from sake lees from a local producer. The sake lees are steamed Calrose rice, inoculated with koji spores and then fermented. Once the koji has enzymatically transformed the starches from the rice into sugar, we pitch with yeast and ferment cold. Following fermentation, we blend with non-GMO neutral spirit, and then distill in-house on one of our custom-made copper pot stills.

On the nose, you’ll find cashew, pistachio, sweet mushrooms, and finally, dried cocoa. That sense of cocoa further develops on the palate as bittersweet chocolate. Try St. George California Shochu in a Shochu Highball, in cocktails with our Baller Single Malt Whiskey, with matcha, with yuzu, or in your own original creation.
