The Japanese Bitters Shiso

Product Type: Liqueur 

Size: 100mL

Proof: 28% Alc/Vol 

Region: Japan 

Description: This perennial plant belongs to the mint family. Pungent and grassy, it imparts a unique combination of flavors such as basil, spearmint, cinnamon, and subtle anise. For this expression from The Japanese Bitters Co., neutral alcohol is infused with domestic, farm-sourced, fresh shiso using a sous vide for a long extraction at low temperature to maintain the fresh qualities of the plant. Often used as a garnish or muddling component in cocktails, fresh shiso can sometimes be inconvenient to source, inconsistent in flavor, and has a limited shelf life. In bitters form, this distinct flavor component knows none of those limitations. 28% ABV
