A wonderful new premium gin expression from drinks giant Suntory that was created using three of Japan’s most famous flavours: Yuzu, Green Tea and Ginger, along with 8 traditional gin botanicals: juniper berry, coriander seed, angelica root, angelica seed, cardamom seed, cinnamon, bitter orange peel, and lemon peel. The results are a refreshing, unique and all-round delicious drinking experience that is perfect on the rocks, with tonic water, or in cocktails. If you liked the Suntory Roku, you’ll love this.
Tasting notes:
Aroma: Bright, sunny and warm yuzu alongside plenty of ginger
Palate: Open up with oranges, then I get a pinch of spices. Later on there’s green tea, underscored by a grainy corn base.
Finish: Mouthful of green tea continues, and ginger makes a comeback. On the way out juniper finally shows itself.
