Description
What kind of spirit is this?
Etsu Gin Sakura by Etsu is an artisanal Japanese Gin at 43% ABV, defined by an elegant profile of cherry blossom and yuzu. Juniper provides a classic foundation, while bitter orange peel, coriander and liquorice offer a lightly spicy character. Green tea, sansho pepper and angelica enhance the aromatic complexity, ensuring a smooth palate. Crafted without chill-filtration and with no added colouring, this unaged spirit guarantees a beautifully direct, clean tasting experience.
Where does it come from?
Crafted in Asahikawa, Hokkaido, this spirit relies on established local distilling techniques to capture its distinct character. The recipe uses pure water from the Ōu mountain range, ensuring remarkable clarity and finesse. Drawing inspiration from Hanami, the Japanese custom of viewing cherry blossoms, the botanical selection highlights the delicate florality of sakura alongside the bright freshness of yuzu citrus. This precise combination shapes a refined, aromatic profile that authenticates its regional origin.
How is it produced?
The production of Etsu Gin Sakura follows a precise recipe focused on the optimal extraction of its core ingredients. By carefully integrating sakura and yuzu with juniper, green tea and selected spices, the distillation achieves a precise aromatic balance between floral sweetness and vibrant citrus freshness. To protect its pure flavour profile, the spirit undergoes no cask ageing, avoiding wood maturation entirely. Maintaining its natural hue, the liquid is prepared without artificial additives, resulting in a straightforward botanical expression and a crisp finish.
