About

GIn Etsu - 43% - 70cl

ETSU stands for PLEASURE in Japanese

Etsu has been elaborated in Hokkaido following a secret Asian recipe passed down through generations using several asian botanicals (berries, peppers, teas and fresh citrus from the Japanese islands) including yellow YUZU which dominates this floral gin.

Other floral notes appear from the tea leaves infused into the mix.

Beautifully styled, this gin comes in its own presentation box picturing a geisha settled into a yuzu leaf.

The Taste

The nose is very floral, dominated by the Yuzu flower with some citrus and vegetal notes also.
The palate is fresh with good balance between peppers, green tea and berries.

The Botanicals

Berries, Peppers, Tea, Fresh citrus, Yuzu leaf.
