References: iconic-spirits & bevnet
The US launch of ‘TEITESSA’ single-grain Japanese whisky and ‘AWAYUKI’ Japanese Strawberry Gin has been announced by ICONIC Spirits.
The five varieties of the Japanese whisky TEITESSA were aged between 15 and 30 years each in different types of wood, including American white oak, Spanish oak, and French Limousin oak. The result is a vibrant, flavorful liquid that is balanced and delectable.
Using pink and white Awayuki strawberries cultivated in Japan's Nara Prefecture, AWAYUKI Japanese Strawberry Gin is a rich, delicious gin. AWAYUKI is very aromatic, delectable, and well-balanced because of the over 300 lbs. of these rare strawberries, juniper, and other botanicals.
Both spirits are offered in Total Wine & More outlets in several markets, as well as at a few independent wine and spirits stores and online at Drizly.
