Nishi Distillery Description
Believing that good shochu, like a good harvest, is nothing less than a gift from the earth, Nishi Shuzo only uses potatoes and rice grown by local farmers. Additionally the brewery itself is surrounded by mountains, and thus they are blessed with good water.
A highly prized Imo Shochu aged in Sherry Barrels and made with premium sweet potatoes and white koji. Tenshi no Yuwaku has a thick and creamy texture, and a sophisticated and elegant aroma. Shares brandy and sherry characteristics, while retaining all the richness of a sweet potato genshu. The name Tenshi no Yuwaku (Angel's Temptation) is a reference to the "Angel's Share" (the quantity of barrel stored wine or whisky that evaporates during aging, which is said to be taken by Angels). (from the importer)
