The Unexpected Blend 135° East is an out of the ordinary gin that brings out what we call the Hyogo style. In addition to the traditional botanicals used in London Dry gin production, 135° East blends in 5 other Japanese botanicals carefully selected by our distiller expert Kimio Yonezawa. To embody the Japanese soul of this unexpected gin, we also added a touch of distilled sake to our recipe.  Yuzu citrus fruit gives our gin a citrus hit, with fragrant tart grapefruit and juicy mandarin orange overtones Sansho pepper adds a touch of very fragrant spice and a long finish to our gin A touch of distilled Sake spirit adds a soft seweetness which gently wraps up and accompanies the 5 Japanese botanicals Delicious in a classic G&T, garnished with grapefruit or yuzu A fusion of East and West: Japanese aromas and flavours with a London Dry Style If you’re looking to be stimulated by the unexpected, you’ve come to the right place.
