Clouds of Kokutō is an independent spirits publication focused on rum, cachaça, cane-juice spirits, jaggery and kokutō-derived distillates, fermentation, cask influence, and sensory analysis.
The aim is not only to ask whether a bottle is good, but to ask what it reveals about raw material, place, climate, distillation, maturation, culture, and flavor.
