Tasting Notes
These notes summarise the distillery's description of Nozawa Gin and its botanicals, rather than an in-house tasting.
- Nose: Woodland fragrance with sweet floral accents from kuromoji.
- Palate: Refreshing citrus and woody herbs, with mint- and sage-like impressions from kakidooshi and a clean bitterness from cedar.
- Finish: Juniper, cedar and lemon contribute a layered finish, as described on the bottle.
Botanicals with a Connection to Nozawa Onsen
The distillery describes hand-picking kuromoji from its garden and sourcing fresh cedar from a distiller's garden. Kuromoji is an aromatic Japanese shrub; kakidooshi is a herb described here through its minty, earthy character. Together they give the signature gin a local botanical identity alongside juniper and lemon.
