Gin 424 is the only artisanal gin in the world made from four types of shochu (distilled alcohol) sweet potato derived from Koji (the first, with floral notes and apple is obtained by distillation of yellow sweet potato distillation and malted white rice; the second, with butter notes and mushrooms, is obtained by distillation of yellow sweet potato and malted black rice; the third, yogurt notes and wild berries is obtained by distillation of sweet potato Violet and Malted White Rice; the fourth, caramel and vanilla notes, is obtained by distillation of yellow sweet potato and malted white rice and has been aged in Sherry drum). This gives it a deep sweetness that we do not find in other spirits.
The shochu is a traditional Japanese spiritual spirits based on Koji (malted rice) and sweet potato.
The shochu is a very local liquor and a unique spirits that is not widely available.
This gin, Grand Cru, is made from shochu of sweet potatoes, "imojochu" and bays of juniper then aromatic plants.
In addition to the bays of juniper, four plants traditionally used in the London gin were used: coriander seed, angelic root, root of iris, cardamom.
This gin has an impressive deep flavor and a soft softness derived from the imojochu, while maintaining the structure of a gin and providing a richer feeling of the characteristics of juniper bays.
We love floral, fresh, spicy notes.
It should be noted that only cedars over 80 are used for the making of wooden stills at our craftsman. No nail is used and cedar boards are attached with bamboo strips.
You can feel a slight fragrance of cedar, a strong sweetness and a umami, and a fluffy alcohol quality.
