Description
Cambridge Distillery’s Japanese Gin is an innovative creation that brings the delicate botanicals of Japan to a classic spirit base. It was the first gin in the world to be made using traditional Japanese ingredients. Key botanicals include shiso leaf, sansho pepper, yuzu peel, sesame seeds, and cucumber. To preserve these fragile flavours, the distillery uses vacuum distillation, which operates at lower temperatures than traditional copper stills.
The nose is bright and citrus-led, featuring zesty yuzu and cooling cucumber. On the palate, the shiso provides a refreshing herbaceous quality, while the sansho pepper adds a subtle, tingling spice. The sesame provides a rich, savoury undertone. This gin is clean and sophisticated, pairing perfectly with premium tonic and a garnish of fresh shiso.
