Description
Masahiro OKINAWA Gin The Japanese Craft Gin Recipe 01, with an alcohol content of 47% vol. in a 0.7-liter bottle, is a unique Japanese craft gin that combines the traditional distilling skills of the Masahiro Distillery with the exotic flavors of Okinawa. Masahiro Distillery, founded in 1883, is one of the oldest distilleries in Okinawa and is best known for its masterful production of awamori, a traditional Japanese spirit. This experience in the art of distillation is reflected in the production of this exceptional gin, which is refined with regional botanicals.
What makes this gin special is the use of local ingredients from Okinawa, which give it a distinctive, fruity and floral note. In addition to classic juniper, Goya (bitter melon), Roselle (hibiscus), dried shikwasa (Japanese citrus fruit), pepper and cinnamon leaves are used as botanicals. This combination creates a refreshing, complex and harmonious taste that combines Japanese elegance with tropical lightness.

Tasting notes:
Color: Clear and pure, typical of high-quality craft gin.
Nose: Fruity-fresh with intense notes of citrus fruits, especially shikwasa, accompanied by floral hibiscus aromas and a hint of spicy pepper.
Taste: Soft and complex with an exotic balance of citrus, earthy and herbal notes. The bitter melon lends a fine, subtle tartness, while the cinnamon leaves and pepper notes add a light spiciness.
Finish: Long, dry and elegant with a harmonious interplay of floral and spicy accents.
Masahiro OKINAWA Gin Recipe 01 is perfect for classic and innovative gin cocktails. It is particularly effective in a gin & tonic with Japanese yuzu or elderflower tonic water, garnished with a slice of lemon or shikwasa zest. It also unfolds its complex aroma profile perfectly in a negroni, martini or gin sour. Enjoyed neat or over ice, it offers an excellent opportunity to discover the subtle nuances of Okinawa botanicals. (automated translation)

Enthält sehr viele Bitterstoffe, demnach auch sehr bitter im Geschmack, für mich leider zu bitter. Eher was für Personen die einen bitteren Geschmack bevorzugen.
