Mars The Japanese Gin Wabigin

$110.00

MARS Japanese GIN Wabigin is a Japanese gin that incorporates botanicals grown in the diverse natural environment of Kagoshima. By bringing out the characteristics of the material, the spiciness of coriander seeds enhances the flavor of juniper berries and harmonizes with nine botanicals harvested in various parts of Kagoshima, including kumquat harvested in Kaseda-tsunuki, Minamisatsuma
City, where the distillery is located. We finished this gin with a refreshing taste.
The botanical “Satsuma Button” is an original design of Satsuma ware that was revived by the painter Shiho Murota. It expresses Kagoshima’s traditional techniques and nature.

Botanicals: Juniper Berry, Coriander Seed, Ginger, Green tea leaf, Saigon cinnamon leaf,Yuzu(Japanese citron), Hetsuka bitter orange, Lemon, Kumquat, Shell ginger, Perilla(Japanese herb)

On the nose it is spicy and soft with notes of ginger and juniper. On the palate it is herbaceous and citrusy , with clear notes of yuzu and green tea. The finish is long and fresh with citrus and bitter notes.

A dry gin with a bold citrus profile that makes it suitable for a Dry Martini.

Shinshu Distillery was founded in Nagano Prefecture in 1984 by Hombo Brewing, a Japanese Shochu maker from Kagoshima Prefecture. The distillery, which used to produce whisky only during winter, also produced other distilled liquors, such as brandy. In 1992, it stopped producing whisky due to low demand. After the recovery of the whisky market in 2007, production resumed in 2011.At a height of 798 metres above sea level, Mars Shinshu is the highest distillery in Japan. The whisky, which is made from water that has passed through granite and contains plenty of natural minerals, has a rich and balanced flavor.A short while after its revival, Mars Maltage 3+25 earned the title of World's Best Blended Malt Whisky at the WWA. The distinction stunned the whisky industry both internationally and in Japan.
In 2016, Hombo Shuzo reopened and introduced new pot stills to their first distillery location in Kagoshima now known as the Mars Tsunuki Distillery, once again Japan’s southernmost distillery. They also built an aging facility on a tiny island known as Yakushima, a National World Heritage site, where they now age spirits from both Shinshu and Tsunuki distilleries.
