Kyoya Shuzo Premium Yuzu Gin 750ml

This renowned shochu distillery uses its sweet potato spirit as the base for a bold gin with a peppery finish. Yuzu aside, the Miyazaki-made gin contains eight other botanicals like ginger, sansh pepper, hyuganatsu (a sweet-sour citrus), cucumber, and coriander seeds. Perfect with soda, tonic or in a Fitzgerald or Army & Navy cocktail.

Nose: Citrus, pomelo, sweet and peppery. Wisps of Juniper.

Taste: A well-balanced twist on a London dry style, oleaginous and chewy—the sweet potato gives it extra body and sweetness, moderated by the sour, slightly bitter notes from the hyuganatsu. Yuzu exemplified!

Finish: Juniper, ginger, sansh pepper. Followed by citrus, coriander and cucumber.
