EtsuJapaneseGin(700mL)

<p>Joyous Gin from Japan</p><p>What does one have to do to get a double gold for Gin? Well, for starters, you need the know-how and top-notch ingredients. <em>One of the first Japanese Gins has all of it</em>. Made in Hokkaido by the Asahikawa distillery, Etsu means jubilation or joy in Japanese. It’s a floral extravaganza with some botanicals you won’t find in non-Nippon Gins, like green tea leaves, sansho pepper, and yuzu, the endemic Japanese citrus that tastes sort of like grapefruit.</p><p>They make Etsu following a secret recipe, sourcing the water from Taisetsu mountains and filtering it through charcoal. The Spirit comes in a lovely bottle with a geisha sitting in a yuzu leaf. <em>A bunch of knowledge and work went into this glorious Gin.</em></p>
