Neat: Enters smoothly with an earthy character and subtle sour plum notes at the conclusion. With Fever Tree Tonic: The tonic alters the profile, making the gin lighter and emphasizing the floral notes while diminishing the plum flavor.

Sencha is prominent, followed by traces of gyokuro and sansho pepper with lemon notes that are present but not excessive throughout; it trends towards the bitter end of gins. An outstanding selection for sipping and in mixed drinks.
Citrus and floral aromas on the nose, citrus on the palate, then it becomes earthy with a slight ginger sting.
Mixed with St-Germain, pear puree, and citrus... outstanding.
Really smooth gin with a pleasant aftertaste
Silky, perfumed
