Australia, 41.8% Fresh Yuzu Gin, as the name suggests, is a bright, aromatic and (yes) fresh dry gin. The defining character is fresh yellow yuzu, grown in Victoria, Australia. The yuzu aromatics are an interesting mix of lemon, mandarin, cumquat and grapefruit – all bright, fresh citrus notes. Finger lime adds some deeper citrus character. The palate has beautiful depth of flavour – ginger, turmeric and sencha genmaicha (a type of green tea with roasted brown rice) sit over a canvas of strong pine-needle juniper with lemon myrtle adding a touch of lemon curd. Brilliant in a gin Highball with almost any citrus garnish. |
