Description
Che tipo di distillato è
Etsu Japanese Gin is a clear, crystalline spirit with a contemporary style and a precise London Dry character. Bottled at 43% ABV, it offers a dry, smooth, and remarkably clean profile. The aromatic palette balances juniper berries with local botanicals, such as green tea, coriander, liquorice, jasmine, and hibiscus. On the palate, floral and vegetal tones merge seamlessly with persistent yuzu citrus and subtle hints of green berries. The experience concludes with a long, focused finish, driven by the warming spice of Sansho and Sichuan pepper and a lingering return of vibrant citrus.
Da dove proviene
Hailing from the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido, Etsu Japanese Gin is crafted at Asahikawa Distillery. Its regional character is defined by pure Mount Taisetsu water, which ensures crystalline transparency and enhances the spirit’s aromatic definition. This pristine water source allows the local botanicals to express a balanced profile of delicate florals and subtle spice. Its authentic identity is vividly expressed through distinct yuzu and green tea notes, providing a clear sensory thread from the initial nose to the final palate.
Come viene prodotto
Production relies on an artisanal distillation method following a confidential recipe. Selected botanicals undergo a precise 22-hour maceration before being slowly distilled together. This deliberate technique ensures maximum aromatic precision and a structured, smooth profile. The resulting spirit remains remarkably clean, highlighting nuanced layers of citrus peel, green tea, and liquorice. Highly versatile, this gin is excellent served neat or in cocktails. It is an ideal accompaniment to sushi, sashimi, tempura, and a variety of raw fish and seafood, elegantly complementing the flavours of Asian cuisine.
