Tasting Notes
"The nose brings green notes of grass and pine, followed by pepper and earth. Very different to the other, citrus-forward Japanese gins on the market. The palate bursts with pine and berries before the pepper dominates. On the long finish, the pine needles reign supreme, joined by subtle hints of earth, mint, and citrus. This is one of the most promising gins to enter the market in 2017. "
