Etsu Sakura (70cl)

Etsu Sakura is a limited edition Japanese gin from the Asahikawa Distillery, made with mountain water from Taisetsu filtered through charcoal. Only 5,000 bottles were produced to celebrate cherry blossom. Sakura is one of the botanicals used in maceration, alongside yuzu, coriander, liquorice and green tea. The bottle is hand-blown glass depicting a geisha. On the nose it offers delicate floral cherry and citrus yuzu notes. On the palate it is fresh and delicately citrus, with a clear floral note and a hint of yuzu.
