Komasa Sakurajima Komikan Gin

Komasa Sakurajima Komikan Gin is a creation of Komasa Jyozo, a traditional alcoholic beverage producer founded in 1883 on the island of Kyushu.

Made from locally distilled shochu as the alcoholic base, this atypical gin is composed of a bouquet of classic botanicals including juniper berry to which are added original ingredients such as Sakurajima Komikan, small Japanese mandarin and coriander. All the elements are infused independently of each other in order to extract a maximum of aromas.

Its very fruity nose with tangerine aromas but also accompanied by some notes of violets and cereals, gives way in the mouth to an explosion of flavors with the appearance of pastry notes, and the tasting experience ends in a long finish where the aromas of tangerine, spices and citrus zest gradually disappear.
