Tasting Notes: Yuzu and other citrus aromas prominent on the nose, flavors of the gin itself are surprisingly bold, with woodsy notes from Sakaki and spiciness of sansho coming through. Suggested Serving: Spicy and bold, Osuzu Gin shines well with simple preparations mixed with soda water or tonic, in a martini or a restrained White Negroni.
