Etsu Pacific Ocean Taste Gin (70cl, 43%)

A gin distilled at the Asahikawa Distillery in Hokkaido, Japan. During dilution, water drawn from the depths of the Pacific Ocean is added alongside Hokkaido mountain spring water, giving a briny, mineral signature. Botanicals macerate for 22 hours in 67% sugar-cane-molasses alcohol before a single distillation in a traditional copper alembic; the botanicals include juniper berries, yuzu, bitter orange peel, licorice root, angelica root and coriander. It is not chill-filtered. The bottle is 43% ABV and 700 ml.
