Product information "Gold Oak Barrel Awamori - 720ml"

Yaesen Gold Oak Barrel Awamori is a distinctive Japanese spirit crafted on Ishigaki Island by the renowned Yaesen Shuzo. Directly distilled and matured in fine French white oak barrels, this Awamori reveals a clean oak aroma harmoniously balanced with the gentle sweetness and soft flavour typical of Awamori. Light on the palate yet layered, it is a carefully blended expression of spirits aged between 3 and 6 years, resulting in a refined, elegant finish.

For spirit enthusiasts, its profile will feel familiar — somewhere between young aged grain genever and bourbon — yet with a uniquely Okinawan soul.

Born from the lush nature of Ishigaki, Yaesen Shuzo has been a part of island life since its founding. Every drop is crafted with sincerity, uniting people over flavour and tradition. The distillery is celebrated for its pioneering approach: combining classic direct-fire distillation with long-term oak barrel ageing, a rare innovation in Awamori. This fusion of heritage and innovation has made Yaesen a benchmark in Okinawan craftsmanship.

Overlooking the sea from its hilltop home, Yaesen Shuzo is both a distillery and a cultural landmark. Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as the base of refined cocktails, Yaesen Gold Oak Barrel Awamori offers an experience of elegance, warmth and connection — a spirit nurtured by the islanders and shared with the world.
