TASTE’s take:

Sake is made in ancient Japanese breweries according to age-old traditions. The alcohol that results from fermented rice, sake can have a complex array of subtle flavours, from mandarin to melon and more earthy aromas.

It teams well with botanical or herbal additions and is a sensitive alcohol that prefers to be stirred rather than shaken.
