Etsu Double Yuzu Japanese Gin

Etsu Double Yuzu Japanese Gin is a refined expression of artisanal craftsmanship, born from a cherished ancestral recipe that reflects the essence of its name, “Etsu,” which translates to “pleasure” in Japanese. Crafted at the Akita distillery, nestled in the serene northern region of Honshū Island, this gin embodies both tradition and innovation.

The meticulous process behind Etsu Double Yuzu begins with a careful maceration of traditional botanicals for a full seven days. This extended steeping period allows the flavors to develop depth and complexity before the gin is distilled. In a nod to elegance and finesse, the botanicals are removed before distillation, resulting in a gin with a refined and smooth character.

The purity of Etsu Double Yuzu is further enhanced by the use of crystal-clear water sourced from the Ōu Mountains, Japan’s longest mountain range. This pristine water contributes a freshness and clarity that elevate the gin’s overall profile.

Etsu Double Yuzu is distinguished by its unique blend of Japanese yuzu citrus, juniper berries, liquorice, angelica roots, coriander seeds, and matcha tea. The yuzu imparts a vibrant, zesty note that infuses the gin with a fresh, citrusy brightness. This is perfectly balanced by the subtle warmth of juniper and the complex, herbal undertones of liquorice and angelica. Coriander seeds add a hint of spice, while matcha tea introduces an elegant, earthy nuance.

This gin is a true tribute to Japanese heritage, combining traditional flavors with a contemporary twist. Whether enjoyed in a classic gin and tonic or as the base for inventive cocktails, Etsu Double Yuzu offers a sophisticated and delightful tasting experience. Its bright, zesty notes and smooth finish make it a versatile and refreshing choice for any occasion, capturing the spirit of Japan in every sip.
