【Message from Nagato/Issei Taira who supervised wormwood cultivating and distilling】
Wormwood is the plant that is the main ingredient of Absinthe and blooms small yellow flowers.
It takes 3 years to complete its growth, and the height is over 180cm(taller than average Japanese heights ) .
It grows dramatically in the growth period, and I sometimes call it the green monster.
I can’t tell well how the flowers’ scent is alike.
They mark the end of summer when they approach the peak of blossoming,
and I’d like you to feel the end of summer by opening the bottle.
Absinthe is normally made from lots of herbs and spices.
However, I reduced the ingredients of“YASO Absinthe Nagato Taira Issei” as few as I can.
I aimed for the concept “Simple is best”.
YASO SPIRITS, which has complex flavors, may make you enjoy finding out the hidden ingredients of its main flavor.
It has already been 8 years since the wormwood research started,
that bore fruit thanks to Echigoyakuso and other lots of people that provided support and assistance.
I’m so grateful.
Now, I hope you’ll get the liquor.
Nagato/ISSEI Taira
