Etsu The Original
Etsu is an artisanal gin born from an ancestral recipe. It means “pleasure” in Japanese.
Distilled at the Asahikawa distillery on the northern island of Hokkaido, Etsu gin is distinguished by the balance of the botanicals that compose it and by the purity of the water from the Taisetu mountain. For added strength and character, this gin is distilled with the botanicals after 22 hours of maceration.
Juniper berries, liquorice and angelica roots, coriander seeds but also Japanese yuzu and bitter orange peel blend perfectly in this fresh and round gin.
A true ode to Japan, Etsu is ideal for cocktails or with a tonic.
