RELEASE 2: Bartender's Selection for China 2nd Alc 54% 700ml ( JUPITER )
| Description |
Although it is a simple blend, like Jupiter's, we decided to make the most of the aroma of the barrel wood.American white oak barrels by themselves have an austere and raw wood aroma that stands out, so we used bourbon barrels as the base and mixed in an appropriate amount of American white oak barrels so that only the good parts of the American white oak barrels stand out.
The bourbon and American white oak barrels alone had similar tones and the aroma was not broad enough, so we used a small portion of cherry wood base alcohol to add acidity and freshness, and wrapped the entire bottle in a thin film to add breadth and softness.
The alcohol content was adjusted by adding a little water so that these flavors would stand out and the taste would not have the astringency of new oak. (around 53%). |
