Amid many unconventional new gins, Takasu Distillery deliberately explores an orthodox style: high-quality, smooth, traditional gin that supports cocktails such as the gin and tonic and Martini. Retrograde, meaning to go backwards, builds on a classic botanical recipe, adding local Takasu blueberries and rare Timur pepper for complex sweetness and a gentle tingle. British wheat spirit forms the base. More than 140 distillation sections are assessed for the heart cut to achieve a soft, comfortable texture.
Enjoy in cocktails, with soda or water alongside food, over ice or neat.
Base spirit: British wheat. Botanicals: Takasu blueberries, Timur pepper, oakmoss, juniper berries, lemon and orange peel from Iwagi in Ehime, coriander, cardamom, angelica and cinnamon.
Takasu is a gin-focused distillery in a town of approximately 6,500 people near the centre of Hokkaido. It values the versatility of traditional gin while expressing the individuality arising from local connections.
