Distiller Notes
Bursting with notes of juicy, sweet citrus, playful spice, and earthy complexity. A well-balanced, dry gin made from a base of sweet potato shochu resulting in extra body and a touch of sweetness that is balanced by the bright, tart notes from the yuzu, exotic citrus, and sansho pepper from the locally sourced botanicals. The locally sourced and very rare citrus fruit, hyuganatsu and hebess, give Yuzu Gin a remarkably unique flavor profile.
This artisanal gin is perfect served straight up with tonic water or mixed in cocktails, such as a gin and tonic or gimlet, and is a refreshing alternative to dry gin.
Enjoying an enthusiastic resurgence in modern cocktail culture, Gin, a.k.a. ‘Dutch Courage,’ was originally touted as a 16th century cure for cowardice and stomach ailments. Arguably the broadest and most dynamic category of spirits in terms of flavor profiles and production styles, Gin is a distilled grain spirit that derives its primary flavor from juniper berries and secondary flavors from a dazzling array of spices, herbs, fruits and botanicals. It is both produced and enjoyed all around the world and is most commonly mixed into cocktails such as the Martini or simply added to tonic water.
