Gin Etsu Japan Pacific Ocean Water 70cl

Originating from the Japanese distillery Etsu, located on the northern island of Hokkaido, the Etsu Japan Pacific Ocean Water Gin is a unique expression that captures the pure essence and freshness of Pacific Ocean waters. This gin is distilled using filtered seawater, a practice that gives this spirit a very particular distinctive characteristic.

The distillation process follows traditional methods, enriching the gin with an exclusive selection of Asian botanicals, including green tea leaves, yuzu, sansho (a type of Japanese pepper), and other local aromatic herbs. This mix gives the gin a complex and intensely fresh aromatic profile.

Visually, Etsu Gin presents itself with crystal clarity. On the nose, it offers intricate floral and citrus aromas, where yuzu stands out for its vibrant freshness, accompanied by light spicy notes and a subtle herbaceous sweetness. In the mouth, it is smooth and silky with a palate that fulfills the olfactory promises, enriched by a unique savoriness reminiscent of the sea breeze. The finish is long and refreshing, with an aftertaste that leaves a pleasant sensation of cleanliness.

Etsu Japan Pacific Ocean Water Gin is perfect served in a classic Gin Tonic enriched with a slice of lime or yuzu, or it can be used as a sophisticated base for more complex cocktails that desire a distinctive and maritime touch. This expression is ideal for gin lovers seeking an exotic and refined variant, drawing directly from the pristine nature of Japan.
