He tells you about the precious recipe handed down from generation to generation, the carefully selected botanicals, including the Japanese yuzu, and the precious know-how of maceration and distillation.The distillers suggest adding a bit of mint, to help balance the gin (I like fresh herbs in my gin - especially mint and some variety of basil)), but it really doesn’t need it. These botanicals include tea leaves, yuzu, green bitter orange peel, coriander, licorice, and angelica root in addition to juniper. I may from time to time choose to do a second review and amend my opinion of a product, should I feel like it and find my review criteria has evolved, or that I’ve found it different at a later date.
