Kaikyo Distillery
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.
Leafy and vibrant, with mint, lime, caraway and fresh juniper.
The leafy notes remain at the fore, but soon enough a creamy hint of green tea arrives, along with a kick of ginger.
Just a touch of citrus oil sweetness appears on the finish.

I could smell the cedar on the first whiff and it's oddly soothing.
Nose: Soft juniper with a woodland, leafy hiking smell. (absolutely amazing) Palette: bright sansho and yuzu and black pepper. overall this is an incredible bang for your buck. easily makes its way up to the top of my favorite gin ever. really reminds me of a forest
