The Sakaki Gin range is the the first gin to use sakaki as a botanical. Sakaki is an evergreen tree that plays an important role in Japanese mythology, and it imparts a “foresty” flavour to the gin.
As Sakaki XV’s name suggests, it contains 15 botanicals including unique Japanese fruits, spices and herbs:
All Spice, Caraway, Cinnamon, Clove, Coriander Seed, Juniper, Lavender, Mikan, Sakaki, Sansho, Star Anise, Sudachi, Ume, Yoshino Cedar, Yuzu
