Iseya Distillery Scarlet Ethical Amaro

A collaboration between Iseya Distillery and Ethical Spirits Co.

Ethical Spirits distill a base product from discarded sake kasu and expired beer. To this they received the herbs and plants used to make Scarley products and added this to the distillation. The resultant spirit was used a the base for this amaro. This was then aged for 1.5 years in used barrels from Kuroki Honten in Miyazaki. - Black Market Sake

Founded in 2021 by distiller Tatsuya Motonaga, Iseya Distillery resides in a repurposed traditional house that's more than 100 years old. Having worked in some of the world's most recognised cocktail bars (Shinjuku's Ben Fiddich, Shibuya's Coal Ila and Taipei's Wa-shu) Motonaga got the amaro bug after a huge distillery tour of Europe and the UK. He was hooked by the level of craftmanship, connection to local agriculture that create this drink of epic folkloric proportions. And how lucky are we to now have a Japanese interpretation.
