Product details
This is a Gin produced by Nikka Whisky, with all of the base distillate made in their "Coffey Still" imported from Scotland in 1963. The Coffey Still produces a base with a silky texture, rich body, and more flavor than modern column stills. Its aromatic complexity relies on the delicate balance of various botanicals including Japanese citrus such as Yuzu, Kabosu, Amanatsu and Shequasar. There is also a touch of apples, followed by pleasantly tangy hints of Japanese Sansho pepper on the finish, with traditional gin botanicals including juniper, coriander, angelica root, lemon and orange peel as well. In addition to the Coffey Still a pot still is used to distill the Japanese citrus and a vacuum still for the Sansho pepper. 47% ABV.

Melon-y gin worth a try, especially if you're normally put off by juniper-forward gins
I always keep a bottle on hand for I need a great martini, made simply so as not to cover up the unique flavor. Highly ecommended for zoom calls with family.
Good gin, nice viscocity. Finishes quick. Not very good in cocktails. Better for gin and tonics or sodas.
I haven't had a gin that captures citrus nearly as well as Nikka. The botanicals are an excellent backdrop for the citrus front, and the savory peppers keep it balanced. Super good on its own, and opens up some great mixing opportunities (Try it with Björk liqueur!). Certain mixes might overwhelm the flavors, though.
Has become my go-to "Refreshing" gin. There's a pop that feels a little like pop-rocks that hits your mouth at the end. The botanicals don't overwhelm.
