    Sake

    • BTL Cowboy Yamahai

      YeeHaw! The nose on this storied sake is a collection of musky fruits, straw, steamed rice, and caramel elements. Full-bodied sake that appeals to big red wine drinkers. Complex, layered, saucy, deep, rich, bold, and ricey, this "Cowboy" is the real deal. With an 19% alcohol content, this vast and savory sake is a real mouthful that is as smooth as it is solid. It’s character is a perfect food pairing partner that compliments everything from steak and game, to fowl and shellfish.
