Kakuzo Cherry Liqueur 70cl 20% ABV - Bitter Vodka
Liqueur
Brand: KAKUZO
Delicious cherries, aromatic gentian and tart
grapefruit form the base of this distinctive bitter: a fruit tinged
masterpiece, the smooth notes of cherry are perfectly balanced by
the warming touch of gentian. Then comes the vodka: expertly
filtered, triple-distilled and undoubtedly soft - this is the
unique character of Kakuzo. About the Producer Kakuzo, made by tea:
an innovative new vodka, inspired by Eastern philosophy. In 1906,
Okakura Kakuzo wrote an English-language essay explaining the
philosophy and cultural significance of tea in Japan. The Way of
Tea, he said, was a route to purity and harmony. Kakuzo is an
evolution in spirits - achieving a level of subtlety and
sophistication of flavour not tasted before in flavoured vodkas.
This tea infusion has nuanced notes of malty sweetness, botanical
bitterness and citrus sharpness. The search for balance between yin
and yang, so important in the tea ceremony, is expressed in the
creation of Kakuzo. The measuring of three different tea varieties
(from Japan, China and India) for the blend; the perfect duration
of the infusion (too short and the flavour would not be bold
enough, too long and it would be bitter and tannic); the
relationship between the fragrant flavours of tea and the purity of
premium vodka. Kakuzo can be served heated like a sake, long with
bitter lemon or in cocktails, where the complexity of its flavour
profile can be explored. As Okakura Kakuzo himself said:
"Perfection is everywhere if we only choose to recognise it". You
