Masahiro Okinawa Gin Recipe 01 (75cl, 47%)

Masahiro Okinawa Gin Recipe 01 is Okinawa's first craft gin, built on an awamori rice-spirit base by Masahiro Shuzo of Itoman, with six botanicals: juniper, shekwasha citrus, guava leaves, goya bitter melon, roselle hibiscus and long pepper. It is bottled at 47% ABV. The nose brings fresh shekwasha citrus and juniper with floral notes; the palate offers bright citrus zest with balanced bitter-sweetness, pepper and minerality, roselle adding dryness, and green, tropical notes; and the finish is smooth and refreshing with tingling pepper spice.
