Zanpa 1999
Tasting Notes
Zanpa 1999 is a kusu (aged awamori) time capsule that carries an aroma reminiscent of caramel, vanilla, custard, cherry cordial, and toasted brown rice. When sipped, a delightful sweetness blooms on the palate, followed by puffed cereals and a lingering caramel finish with pleasant undertones of bitter, toasty notes. Every aspect of its aroma and flavor is meticulously balanced, a superb example of an unblended aged awamori.
As its availability is limited, Zanpa 1999 is not distributed to the general public. It is sold in limited quantities during special events a few times a year.
