DEN-EN Gold Sakura Cask Shochu

For the Japanese, there is hardly a more important time of year than the cherry blossom season, known there as Sakura. The light cherry blossom aroma of DEN-EN Gold Sakura Cask is reminiscent of this beautiful time of year. DEN-EN Gold is made from the finest barley and with white koji. Maturing for over three years in barrels made from the wood of the legendary Japanese cherry blossom trees ensures an intense, complex and floral taste.

Producer DEN-EN Shuzo is based in Satsumasendai in Kagoshima Prefecture, Kyushu, and is considered a pioneer in the field of barrel-aged shochus. The country's very first shochu was placed in a barrel here in 1956. The company is constantly creating new innovations in the field of barrel storage.

The DEN-EN Gold Sakura Cask is sure to delight every whisky drinker, but of course not just them. It can be drunk neat, on ice or extended with water or soda. This shochu is also a dream as a base for cocktails.

DEN-EN Shuzo was founded in 1905 in Hiwakicho Tonohara in Kagoshima Prefecture. The distillery is considered a pioneer in the field of barrel-aged shochus. In 1956, the very first mugi (barley) shochu) in the country was barrel-aged here. Since then, they have perfected this method through many experiments. DEN-EN Shuzo, for example, implemented the "Ongaku Jikomi" technique. This involves playing classical music to the shochu during production to speed up fermentation and improve ageing in the barrel.
