Tatsumi Distillery Gin (Dram)

Sake? Nope. Sake Gin? Yes! This unique one of a kind gin is only made from 2 different shochu as its base, and juniper.
 
An incredible Japanese craft gin. Made by Tatsumi-san by hand on his own. The Tatsumi Distillery Gin is made with simply one botanical - Juniper berry. The Juniper is sourced from northern Macedonia and is some of the best available in the market. The Gin is distilled from two different Shochu bases, Sake Lees Shochu & Chicory Shochu. Utilising the famous Kabutogama still the Gin from Tatsumi-san is all handmade in very small batches of less than 500 bottles to maintain consistency.
 
Tatsumi Distillery is an incredibly unique distillery that was established by Shohei Tatsumiasa, a one man operation in 2017.
 
Located in the heart of Gifu Prefecture, its a quaint town at the foot of the Japanese Alps. Brewing techniques remain true to traditional practices and materials,using a copper pot still and a Kabutogama wooden still to create superb gin and absinthe. The Kabutogama still is a distillation method that was originally developed in the Edo Period,and was widely used until the late 19th century.
 
TASTING NOTES:
Woody like coniferous tree, hint of scent of citrus, perfume (fruity similar to Ginjo-Sake). On the palate clear juniper berry, very pleasantly spicy, after taste has a complexity and richness from the base spirits.
