August’s limited edition is a “mint” gin.
YASO GIN 150 has apple mint added to it, and a generous amount of spearmint and Japanese hacca have also been added.
The mint’s menthol and carvone content make for a crisp, refreshing, and highly aromatic gin.
The increased amount of Japanese peppermint was harvested at GOOD GRIND FARM in Kashiwazaki, Niigata Prefecture.
The three of us on the distillation team were privileged to visit them during the harvest!
When harvesting, the aroma of the hackberries blew through the air with the wind, and a fresh scent covered the area as if your breath was soaking just working on the harvest.
This refreshing mint gin, with such deliciousness locked in, is perfect for a cool drink after coming home from a hot and humid day, or as an accompaniment when you are outside having a BBQ.
It goes well not only with fruit, but also with fatty foods such as meat because of its clean taste. We hope you will enjoy this refreshing mint gin and add some color to your summer time.
