Tenjaku London Dry Gin (70cl, 43%)

Tenjaku London Dry Gin is a Japanese London dry gin bottled at 43% ABV in a 700ml bottle. It is built on a dual base of 66% grain spirit and 34% cane spirit, with water sourced from the Mount Fuji basin. Over ten traditional Western botanicals are combined with Japanese ingredients including Yamanashi peaches, yuzu citrus, sansho pepper and green tea. The gin is juniper-forward with no post-distillation flavouring. On the nose, yuzu lifts first, followed by honey and juniper, with a creamy richness from the dual base. The palate opens with star anise and fennel seed, then juniper, green tea and Yamanashi peach. The finish is medium in length, with sansho pepper warmth and floral-citrus notes.
