JAPANESE GIN, Cambridge Distillery

With a focus on ultra-high quality and attention to detail, Master Distiller William Lowe distils each botanical separately to retain the most flavour, and only uses the freshest, highest quality ingredients.
From their website:
“The world’s first gin to focus solely on Japanese botanicals; our Master Distiller became enamoured with these exciting and unusual flavours, which were only accessible because of Cambridge Distillery’s low-temperature distillation processes.
Japanese Gin is made using six botanicals: juniper, shiso leaf, sesame seeds, cucumber, sansho and yuzu: each distilled individually in a vacuum, then blended together for exceptional purity of flavour. Serve long with an equally delicate tonic, and garnish with a fan of crisp green apple.
Each bottle of Japanese Gin is screen-printed by hand here in Cambridge: our Distillery Dog Darcy, found on every bottle of gin we produce, faces to the right on Japanese Gin – as facing “forward” is considered more fortuitous in Japanese culture.”
