Japanese Gin from the Cambridge Gin Company (£65)

There are many gins out there giving gin their own Japanese twist. However, when it comes to this offering from Cambridge Gin Company, we may have just found our favourite!

Carefully crafted, a selection of hand-picked Japanese botanicals have been chosen to complement and match the juniper, evoking a sense of Japan in each drop.

Expect refreshing yuzu peel, aromatic shisho leaf, toasted white sesame and sansho pepper spice. This cacophony of authentic Japanese botanicals are carefully selected to create a dry, crisp gin with green notes that perfectly capture the aromatic subtlety of the Japanese palate.
