Etsu Double Yuzu Japanese Gin (70cl, 43%)

A Japanese gin made at the Akita Distillery on Honshu. It is made with a seven-day maceration of traditional botanicals, including Japanese yuzu, juniper berries, liquorice root, angelica root, coriander seeds and matcha tea, followed by distillation without the botanicals. Pure spring water from the Ou mountains is used. The nose has fresh yuzu and lemon notes. The palate is lively and refreshing, with the full duality of Japanese yuzu between spritzy liveliness and elegant sweetness. The finish is round and smooth, leaving a long-lasting citrus-fresh note.
