Zanpa Premium 30
Tasting Notes
Zanpa Premium 30 is created by blending Zanpa's atmospherically distilled 5-year-old kusu (aged awamori) and their traditional young awamori distilled under reduced pressure. This 3:2 ratio blend highlights the unique aroma, richness, and distinct flavor that develops from the kusu’s 5 years of clay pot storage. The kusu imparts a creamy vanilla aroma with notes of wild rice, mushrooms, dried herbs, and burdock root, while the younger awamori contributes a refreshing and easy-to-drink balance, creating a smooth and enjoyable awamori experience. The color of this deep blue bottle is inspired by the skies and seas of Okinawa.
