TY.KU Citrus Liqueur

品飲筆記：酒液呈淡翡翠色，先是清新的蜜瓜與柚香撲鼻，上口先有一股鮮明的酸度，隨即展現多汁的甜美尾韻，口感清爽而不膩。輕盈的酒體讓它既適合淨飲加冰，也非常好搭配調製雞尾酒。
生產者介紹：由 Ty Ku Premium Sake & Spirits 製作，將日本傳統風味與現代烈酒思維結合，專注於清新果香與茶香的平衡。
釀造與製程：以燒酒（soju）為基底，透過浸漬、調配和微量甜化來鎖住柑橘與蜜瓜的香氣，並加入綠茶元素帶出細緻草本與回甘。以小批量後調確保香氣純淨、層次分明。
田園與食材來源：雖非葡萄酒，柑橘與蜜瓜等原料多來自日本在地果園，重視當季採摘與果實新鮮度，成就爽朗的海岸型柑橘風味。
飲用建議：省去醒酒步驟，冰鎮後或加氣水、製成 highball、搭配生魚片與清淡小點最合適。

Tasting note: Pale, jade-hued and immediately fragrant — TY-Ku Citrus Liqueur opens with fresh melon and bright yuzu aromatics, leading with a tart, mouthwatering acidity that eases into a juicy, honeyed finish. Light-bodied and lively, it’s both sippable on its own over ice and endlessly mixable in cocktails.
Producer notes: Crafted by Ty Ku Premium Sake & Spirits, this expression marries traditional Japanese flavour profiles with a modern spirits approach. The label blends soju as a smooth neutral base with citrus, honeydew and green tea components to create a clean, contemporary liqueur.
Winemaking/production notes: Made by infusion and gentle blending rather than fermentation-driven extraction. Japanese citrus and melon essences are steeped and balanced with a modest sweetening agent and a green-tea accent, producing clarity of fruit and a crisp, saline-leaning acidity. Small-batch finishing ensures consistency and aromatic purity.
Vineyard/ingredient notes: Rather than grapes, the character comes from hand-selected citrus and melon ingredients sourced from Japanese growers; the result showcases coastal citrus brightness and orchard-fresh melon ripeness, with careful attention to freshness and provenance.
Serving suggestion: Serve well chilled, on the rocks, or in a light soda or highball; no decanting required.
