Kouei Chrysanthemum Lake of Happiness -Lacus Felicitatis- Madeira Barrel Aged
Aged in Madeira barrels
I thought it was a bourbon whiskey barrel!
It is so thick and rich, with a sweetness at the end.
I heard that this sake brewery originally made white, acidic sake.
They also make this kind of sake!
The long-awaited series of barrel-aged sake from Koei-Kiku, which aims to "create a new world of sake never before seen in the world," is finally being released simultaneously.
◆Madeira barrels: These barrels are derived from Madeira wine in Portugal and are characterized by a sweet, dense aroma of ripe dried fruits. It has a slight caramelized bitterness and a long, lingering finish.
◆Pedro Ximenez Casks: Casks of Pedro Ximenez (PX), a very sweet Spanish sherry. The deep brown sugar-like richness and the rich sweetness of raisins and prunes are blended into sake, giving it a rich dessert wine-like finish.
◆Oloroso casks: We use casks from Oloroso, a dry Spanish sherry. The aroma of roasted nuts, honey and vanilla is impressive. The moderately rich and dry finish gives a firm structure to the luscious impression.
