Tatsumi Gin: Japan's wood-distilled gin

The Gin Tatsumi is a precious Japanese distillate produced by the Tatsumi Distillery, located in Gifu Prefecture, in the foothills of the Japanese Alps. 

The special feature of this gin, which makes it unique, is the instrument with which it is distilled: a Kabutogama wooden still is used, dating back more than three centuries, an instrument so handcrafted that it no longer exists in all of Japan. 

This particular production method, which harks back to an ancient tradition, makes this gin unique and of great value. The base used is the shochu, made from sweet potatoes and rice, while the only botanical infused is juniper. 

A Gin of extreme finesse, it smells of pine and wood and leaves aromas of juniper and spice on the palate.

Ideal to be enjoyed neat or with a neutral tonic to enhance its characteristics.
