Etsu is one of the top Nippon gins on the market. Etsu means ‘pleasure’ in Japanese. This gin is made by the Asahikawa distillery in Hokkaido to an ancient Asian recipe that requires various herbs, spices and citrus fruits, some of which can only be found in Asia (berries, pepper, citrus). What makes our very floral Etsu special is the lingering notes of orange peel and yuzu, a yellow citrus fruit very popular in Asia. Tasting Notes Appearance: Clear, transparent. Nose: Floral and vegetal, with pronounced citrus and yuzu notes. Palate: Fresh and well-balanced with pepper notes and a touch of liquorice. Finish: Rounded, supple, silky.
