Tenjaku Japanese Gin

Tenjaku Japanese Gin is a testament to the artistry of craft distillation, offering a unique and flavorful expression of Japan's botanical bounty. Crafted through a single distillation process, this gin incorporates a selection of indigenous ingredients that showcase the diverse flavors of the region.

At the heart of Tenjaku Gin lies the aromatic yuzu fruit, renowned for its citrusy brightness and floral notes. Complementing the yuzu are locally sourced botanicals, including the distinctive sansho pepper, which adds a subtle spicy kick, green tea for a touch of earthiness, and Yamanshi peaches for a hint of sweetness.

The careful balance of these botanicals results in a gin that encapsulates the essence of Japan, offering a harmonious blend of citrus, spice, and floral flavors. Tenjaku Gin invites you on a journey of exploration, inviting you to savor the vibrant and distinctive tastes of Japan with every sip.

TASTING NOTES

Aroma
A distinctive, but subtle yuzu note highlights a nose brimming with honey, juniper (slightly reminding me of Barr Hill Gin) and a creamy, unctuous richness. Very inviting nose.

Flavor
Slightly more spice forward on the palate than in the aroma. Low volume star anise and fennel seed early. Mid-palate citrus comes through with pepper and orange notes. Late, the citrus becomes more Seville orange and hints of jasmine tea.

Finish
While there’s juniper in the background notes throughout the entire sip of Tenjaku Gin, it’s most pronounced on the finish where some terpenic hints of pine offer balance to a coriander and sansho dry out.
