Fig Cask (076)

Since the beginning of Mitosaya Botanical Disllery, they have been making fig brandy every year from figs grown in Kawashima-cho, Saitama Prefecture.
At the beginning of August they pick the large Masui Dauphins prepared by the Kawashima-machi Fig Growers Association and prepare them immediately. They are at the peak of their sugar content and aroma, and are so soft that they can be easily crushed by hand. The surface is slightly moistened, and vigorous fermentation begins without the addition of yeast.

It takes about one month from the beginning of August. The fresh, lush aroma gradually changes to a sweet, heavy aroma with alcohol. After fermentation has progressed sufficiently, the wine is distilled several times.
The wine is aged for 10 months in oak barrels, which were also used to age FIG CASK last year.
The sweetness of the wooden barrels is softly combined with the unique greenness of figs.
Enjoy it slowly as an aperitif, after-dinner drink, or as an accompaniment to conversation.
