Ukiyo Yuzu Citrus Gin 700mL

DESCRIPTION:

Ukiyo Japanese Yuzu Citrus Gin is made in Kagoshima, drawing on more than a century of distilling knowledge. It begins with locally grown rice, distilled into a traditional shōchū. A base spirit with a soft, slightly sweet character quite unlike the neutral grain spirit behind most gins.

That shōchū is then redistilled with juniper, yuzu, regional citrus and Japanese botanicals, honouring a tradition of cultivating and harvesting yuzu that stretches back some 1,500 years. Yuzu itself sits somewhere between lemon and grapefruit, expect tart, intensely fragrant, with overtones of mandarin orange.

Expect bright yuzu and jasmine on the nose, a citrus-forward palate with a silky texture and floral lift, and a clean, lingering London style finish. Outstanding in a simple gin and tonic with a twist of grapefruit, and equally at home in a Japanese leaning Negroni or a French 75.
