Matsui The Hakuto Gin Japan

Whereas London Dry Gin is defined by its Juniper backbone, Hakuto leans into a distinctly Japanese profile based around Nashi, a variety of Japanese pear. Eight additional botanicals include cherry blossom, yuzu, Gyokuro green tea, sansho peppercorn, coriander seed, orange peel, black pepper, and juniper berry. Wet pine bough and cherry blossom on the nose lead to a structured mid-palate of pink and sansho peppercorns softened by underripe pear flesh. 40% ABV.
