Tasting note: This small batch release arrives from Mars Tsunuki, a distillery better known for their whiskies. Launched in 2018 for the Japanese market, it's distilled from rice and infused with petals from the famed Rosa Damascene hybrid, a variety renowned for its striking colour and fine fragrance, much sought after by perfumers. The bouquet opens with top notes of rose water and rose hips over fresh curry leaves and refreshing juniper. Creamy, elegant and beautifully integrated, the floral qualities are nicely captured on the palate too. It ends with warming spice, juniper and hints of herbal teas. Ginger and perilla (shiso) are also in the botanical mix. 45% Alc./Vol.
