135 East Hyogo Dry Gin from The Kaikyo Distillery is named for the Akashi Meridian, which runs past the distillery in Akashi city at 135 degrees east longitude. It boasts a boatload of Japanese botanicals, with cedar wood, shiso leaf, chrysanthemum, sansho pepper and yuzu! Citrus and spice intertwine beautifully in this fragrant gin. A burst of tangy yuzu citrus, with fiery ginger, warming chilli spice, pine and earthy juniper, leading into a clean citrus finish. A dry Gin with botanicals sourced from local Japanese farmers, distilled separately to preserve their characteristics. In final step of distillation, Sake is added, adding a soft sweetness. Hints of citrus from Yuzu and spicy notes from sansho peppers awakens your senses.
