Juniper berries, liquorice and angelica roots, coriander seeds but also Japanese yuzu and bitter orange peel blend perfectly in this fresh and round gin. Etsu Gin uses a secret Asian recipe using several Asian botanicals (berries, peppers, teas and fresh citrus from the Japanese islands) including yellow Yuzu which dominates this floral gin. The use of water from the Ōu Mountains, the longest mountain range in Japan, brings purity and freshness. Balance is good, and you’ll taste hints of the tea, citrus, licorice, and vegetal botanicals with each and every sip. Citrus, yuzu and light floral blossom notes hit you on the nose with peppers, green tea, meadow berries, more yuzu and sansho pepper on the palate, using water sourced from the Taisetu Mountains and bottled at 43% ABV.The balance of the notes takes you on a journey of the senses where the pleasure of tasting dominates. Made at the Akita distillery in the north of Honshū Island, Etsu Double Yuzu gin is distinguished by a long maceration of the traditional botanicals for 7 days before being distilled without the botanicals for more finesse and elegance.
