However, a combination of arson, racism, backroom deals, and government agents derailed his revolution by early 1894. Takamine went on to make historic contributions to medicine and culture — creating medical adrenaline and donating thousands of iconic cherry blossom trees to Washington, D.C. — but his patented whiskey process disappeared. Or so it seemed. Fortunately, the family-run Shinozaki Distillery, with permission from the Takamine Family Trust, revived the Takamine Process, and the iconic koji-fermented whiskey was reborn. Crafted with Japanese koji and aged in American White Oak, Takamine Whiskey captures the beauty of both cultures in a classic spirit that lives up to its name.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Takamine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52832636895550,"sku":"Takamine Koji-Fermented Sherry Cask Finished Whiskey 750ml","price":99.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/gacraftspirits.com\/products\/takamine-koji-fermented-sherry-cask-finished-whiskey-750ml","provider":"Great American Craft Spirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
