Scarlet Bitter 'Cask Marriage'

Iseya Distillery’s Scarlet Cask Marriage Series consists of extremely limited bottlings of their classic aperitivo aged in whisky barrels. Batch #6 was rested in empty barrels from Saitama’s legendary Chichibu Distillery for roughly a year before bottling, resulting in a brilliant melding of flavors that demand to be savored.

• Made with 25 estate-grown and locally sourced botanicals featuring lemon balm, golden berry sprouts, sage, angelica root, licorice, cinnamon, jasmine flowers, and blood orange peel
• Botanicals are macerated in neutral sugarcane spirit
• Aged roughly one year in oak casks previously used to age Chichibu Distillery whisky
• Big, bold aromas of cherry cola and whisky prime the palate for vanilla, sandalwood, mizunara oak, and burnt caramel, with notes of toasted cinnamon, licorice, rosemary, and clove on the finish
• Naturally colored using cochineal insect dye
