Most shochu products are 25% ABV or higher, but if they are diluted with water, the aroma and flavour of the cask will inevitably become diluted. Akebono 18% Gold is made from carefully selected barrel-stored shochu, adjusted to 18% ABV so that the aroma and flavour straight out of the barrel can be enjoyed at a lighter alcohol content.
