kuma Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Tonight 1 sniffer of single dist. honkaku shochu from the Satsuma Kinzangura distillery in Kagoshima aged 5 years. One Fonseca No.1 (PSP) ARG/ABR 15 which are smoking "out of this world" sweet tasting carmel, mild golden tabac, very slight peppery taste. Will nub it. Has replaced the wonderful Punch Punch 2014 as "go to" cigar for this bloke. Cao 2
kuma Posted January 5, 2016 Author Posted January 5, 2016 PS. All smokes are from our great "Barn yard mate at cold" El Pres. and the great folks that work with him at FOH......
Jeremy Festa Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 Loving those Fonsecas myself. The drink accompaniment sounds super pretentious. And as such, I approve. Good on you. You whisky snob.
kuma Posted January 5, 2016 Author Posted January 5, 2016 Not whisky Jerocco but honkaku sweet potato. Shochu is some what stronger than rice sake. Shoshu is about 74% proof. Distilled once so not to much processing. Over ice it is great also during winter you can heat it up. But there are many ways to handle it. I like it with a couple ice cubes and tonic water.

Starting to sound a little poncey. But interesting none the less. We have a great Japanese place here in Brisbang on the river. I will attend and request. And let you know.
