A.I.R. Distillations Awa Shiso


“Awa” (泡) stands for delicate, sparkling bubbles. Awa Shiso brings that same refinement: a gentle mousse, layered aromas, and a mature, gastronomic style.

Type: Sparkling 

Nose: Fresh, green, herbal aroma with a vegetal undertone; very crisp thanks to fresh shiso.

Palate: A hint of fruit - cherry and blossom - alongside  nuttiness and spiciness (black pepper).

Finish: Pandan comes to the fore and lingers, creating  a layered impression of brioche and woody notes. Tannins dry the mouth in a bright, refreshing way.

A.I.R. Distillations

Since 2018 founders Alexander Scott Jones, Ina Simone Averhals, and Ruben Van Aken have been exploring distillation techniques and botanicals.

After countless maceration and distillation trials with rare herbs, distillates emerged with unprecedented aromatic profiles. This was followed by years of research into a technique  they call “botanical ageing”. This technique involves reconstructing single-botanical distillates into complex flavour profiles, harmoniously composed of primary, secondary and tertiary aromas. These pure profiles are supported by juices from fruit varieties, heirloom cultivars, grapes and unfiltered verjus. In this way, the first ready-to-serve alternatives for wine moments were created, with exceptional purity, straight from the field.

Today research at A.I.R. is ongoing with a single objective: a new generation of drinks. Seven years of development has resulted in distillates that are precise, clean and aromatically deep.
