This does not affect quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreen Lemon Batch 1 uses fruit from grower Ukai in Mihama, harvested around October and November before it turns yellow. Highly regarded locally for fragrance and acidity, most of the crop is sold nearby. A visit revealed large greenhouse trees carefully pruned to fit their shelter and beautifully shaped green fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe peel is strikingly aromatic and spicy, quite distinct from ripe yellow lemon. Fragrant juice combines strong acidity with slight bitterness, so both peel and juice were chopped, blended and macerated in the base spirit before distillation. The result has youthful, vivid aromas reminiscent of bergamot but without its bitterness or strong perfume, retaining pronounced lemon freshness. Recommended with soda; it also remains assertive in cocktails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional botanicals listed by the supplier: Gifu pine, cedar and young juniper shoots, North Macedonian juniper berries and Nagano chicory root.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNakatsugawa Distillery is in eastern Gifu near Nagano and prioritises locally sourced botanicals and ingredients from identifiable producers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NAKATSU GIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50620892414000,"sku":"193587537","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/2514\/9744\/files\/193587537.png?v=1790419671","url":"https:\/\/bottleofjapan.com\/products\/193587537","provider":"Bottle Of Japan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
