Wasabi

Many of us think we know what the taste of wasabi is like, but most packs that come with sushi only contain five percent wasabi. Freshly grown, the wasabi rhizomes from Dorset offer an incredible aroma and a delicate sweetness when distilled. True wasabi is not the harsh, burning heat of the imitation products found in supermarkets; it is a refined, aromatic heat that speaks of sophistication and authenticity.

Wasabi is a plant that requires specific conditions to thrive: cool temperatures, high humidity, and clean, flowing water. Dorset's climate and landscape provide these conditions, allowing us to cultivate wasabi that rivals the finest Japanese varieties. When you taste true wasabi, you taste the difference between authenticity and imitation, between refinement and compromise.

In Shanty Seaweed Botanical Vodka, wasabi contributes a bright, aromatic heat that is both surprising and deeply satisfying. It is not a heat that lingers and burns; rather, it is a clean, crisp sensation that awakens the palate and invites deeper exploration. Wasabi is the voice of authenticity, the taste of true craftsmanship, the flavor that separates Shanty from the ordinary.
