Miyazato
An ace awamori from the Miyazato Distillery, produced using long grain Thai rice and black koji. Following distillation, the Harusame Kari expression is left to age in clay pots (not oak) for three years, allowing it to become classified as a 'kusu'. This allows plenty of time for the characteristic umami flavours of awamori to become more complex, and for it to develop a lovely richness and body.

Very nutty, complex forest floor, and despite the complete absence of oak, there is plenty of vanilla here, with a rich, creamy mouthfeel. For the spirits geeks among you, the vanilla reference above is not misplaced. Oak-aged spirits are not the only source of vanillin... seriously look it up, blew my mind!
