Sakaki XV Pure Japanese Craft Gin (500ml)

This is the first ever gin to use sakaki, a botanical derived from a flowering evergreen that grows in warm areas of Japan and plays an important role in the country's mythology. Sometimes referred to as a “unifier botanical”, it imparts 'foresty', woody and spicy flavours that make this gin an alternative to floral and citrus dominant styles. Fifteen botanicals make up the mix, including Allspice, Caraway, Cinnamon, Clove, Coriander Seed, Juniper, Lavender, Mikan, Sakaki, Sansho, Star Anise, Sudachi, Ume, Yoshino Cedar and Yuzu. Cinnamon and caraway are pronounced, with juniper complemented by Japanese plum and citrus. 38% Alc./Vol.
