135 East Hyogo Dry Gin

This Japanese gin is crafted using distinctive botanicals including yuzu, mikan, and hinoki wood. This specific blend results in a flavor profile that is notably citrus-forward with a subtly woody finish.

The gin is meticulously distilled in Kyoto, Japan, by the 135 East brand. The brand's name itself pays homage to the 135th meridian east, a longitudinal line that runs directly through mainland Japan.

Due to its bright yuzu and mikan flavor profile, it shines beautifully in a classic gin and tonic or a dry martini. You can also enjoy it neat or on the rocks to fully appreciate the subtle hinoki wood aromas.

No, it does not strictly follow the traditional London Dry Gin profile, which relies heavily on juniper berries. It is distinctly Japanese, relying on native citrus fruits and cypress notes to lead its flavor profile.
