28 year aged AO [LIMITED] Limited to 280 pieces 1/25 20:00~

When this original sake was distilled in 1995, the whiskey industry was in an unprecedented winter, Niigata's ``Tanrei Karakuchi'' sake was all the rage, and shochu was on the eve of a revolution. Then, in 2000, the third shochu boom arrived, and in 2003, consumption of shochu finally surpassed that of sake, making it a historic hit. Although I, Hashimoto, did not directly experience the third shochu boom, I have heard that the excitement at that time was tremendous, and that all manufacturers were constantly short of products.
Around this time, the shochu market experienced an unprecedented boom, and a situation was created in which all sorts of products were selling. Even in these times, the distillery, Ebisu Sake Brewery, adhered to the policy of consistently adhering to strict quality standards and only commercializing unprocessed sake that had been aged for at least three years. Therefore, despite the rapid increase in market demand, it is truly a miracle that Ebisu Sake Brewery's philosophy allowed the sake to mature for 28 years without being released into the world.
After 28 years of aging, the alcohol content has settled down to 37%, which coincidentally feels like it has the potential to be used as an after-dinner drink like a European distilled spirit. Please enjoy the delicate depth and mellowness created by 28 years.
