Etsu is an artisanal gin born from an ancestral recipe. It means “pleasure” in Japanese.

Distilled at the Asahikawa distillery on the northern island of Hokkaido, Etsu gin is distinguished by the balance of the botanicals that compose it and by the purity of the water from the Taisetu mountain. For added strength and character, this gin is distilled with the botanicals after 22 hours of maceration.

Juniper berries, liquorice and angelica roots, coriander seeds but also Japanese yuzu and bitter orange peel blend perfectly in this fresh and round gin.

A true ode to Japan, Etsu The Original is ideal for cocktails or with a tonic.

43° – 70 cl

Botanicals

  • CORIANDER

    The presence of coriander seeds adds a touch of sweetness and a hint of minty freshness.

  • JUNIPER

    Juniper is the queen botanical of gin. These berries provide a tangy, peppery flavour.

  • LIQUORICE

    Liquorice root gives an aniseed and woody taste with a touch of bitterness.

  • ANGELIC

    Angelica root offers characteristic bitter notes and warmth feeling in the mouth.

  • BITTER GREEN ORANGE

    Bitter green orange peel delivers body and a citrus-based flavour profile.

  • YUZU

    The pre-dried japanese yuzu peel creates zesty and fresh notes.
