Tasting Notes
These notes summarise the producer's description and an IWSC tasting note; they are not an independent tasting.

What Makes It Distinctive?
Setouchi lemon is the key botanical. The producer explains that its citrus oils can create a naturally cloudy or milky appearance over ice or with sparkling water. This is a visual effect of the oils, not a defect. The gin is made with soft spring water drawn from Mount Haigamine in Kure.
