Sakurao Japanese Dry Gin Limited Edition
Back in 2018, the new Sakurao Distillery opened in Hiroshima. While they wait until they can produce a whisky, they've made a rather fabulous gin! The limited edition expression is made with 17 botanicals from the land and sea surrounding Hiroshima including Japanese juniper berries, oyster shells, wasabi and Hinoki. It makes for a pretty unique tipple.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Vibrant lemon and orange peels, balanced by a coastal waft and dry juniper earthiness.
Palate
Juniper moves to the fore on the palate, though the savoury elements remain integral. A kick of white pepper spiciness appears later on.
Finish
A clean, cooling finish of mint and juniper.
