iichiko Seirin

iichiko Seirin is a lighter mugi shochu made with the same distillation process, but cut to a lower 20% alcohol by volume with fresh spring water prior to bottling.

This  iichiko Seirin even has a lighter shaded version of the same label because it is a touch lighter in flavor with a light, mellow, refreshing nose. A sweet start sharpens to a grassy bite when drinking neat. This bite is washed out if mixed with water or ice, which makes this an imminently drinkable shochu and at 20% ABV, you can drink more of it without ill effects.
