You may recall I did the Red Shiso Vodka from The Moon Distillery back at “Spirit a Day” #4. It’s sister spirit is completely different, it leans heavily into the green Asian spices that Shiso is known for. Drying, complex spice with a solid smacking of “green”.
Alcohol - 40% / 80 proof
Color - Light but vibrant green
Nose - Musty crushed green leaf, subtle Asian spices
Taste - Straight away punches of Asian spice, reminding me of Singaporean hawker markets, fresh green leaf and hints of citrus
Finish - Leave the mouth full of shiso leaf punch, clean and dry
Best Enjoyed - Love to see this in more cocktails, great cocktail ingredient
