Kumesen
Kumesen G.E.M 2001 is an Awamori, a type of rice-based spirit from Okinawa which is distilled from indica rice. This particular expression is a blend of two vintage Awamori spirit and aged further in bourbon barrels. An intriguing spirit for those looking to try something different.
Fresh orange and caramel, a hint of chopped Alpine herbs and cardamom leaves.
Wow! What a great buy. I was intrigued by the description and, after a bit of googling, I decided it was worth a punt. Great choice. This is a beguiling, bourbon-like booze (hesitate to call is a whiskey as it's not!) Definitely worth a go. Really, really good!
