135 East Gin
Who - Kaikyo Distillery - The distillery is named after the Akashi-Kaikyō Bridge, the longest suspension bridge in the world.
Where - Hyogo, Japan
What - This is a Japanese GIN in a traditional London Dry style with a unique Japanese thoughtfulness. This bottle utilizes both familiar and exotic botanicals, including yuzu, sansho pepper, and Japanese tea leaves, among others crowned by a splash of sake distillate.
Why - 135 East Gin is notably aromatic, offering a blend of citrus and floral scents, with the yuzu’s bright notes standing out prominently.

When - Drink this when you feel sipping something clean and dry with a lingering hit of spice while in the sand or snow far from home.
Cocktails to consider - Gin & Tonic, White Negroni, Southside, Gin Fizz.
