Kumesen G.E.M. Awamori 10 Year Aged - 700ml

Kumesen G.E.M. 10-year, oak-aged Awamori 700ml

Awamori is made from long-grain Thai rice that is inoculated with black koji rice mould, fermented and then distilled for a stunning balance.

Kumesen is one of the most famous Awamori producers in Japan and G.E.M. (Genuine Extra Matured) is a ground-breaking product. The liquid is a blend of two reserve Awamori, a 1997 and a 2001 that are then co-matured for a further 10 years in second-use bourbon barrels imported from Kentucky, USA. 

Extensive ageing and the two Awamori blend give this beautiful spirit smooth and creamy notes of vanilla and beeswax and a lingering, luxuriously clean finish of cloves, cinnamon and tangerine peel to make this as compelling as it gets.
