About
Aged in its raw state, it has a distinctive aroma, and its lower alcohol content gives it a light, easy-drinking character. Its smooth mouthfeel can make it easy to drink too much, so care is needed. It can be enjoyed at room temperature or chilled, but if it is chilled too much, its flavor becomes hard to detect, so avoid over-chilling it.
