About this deal

Made using eleven carefully selected botanicals, the gin contrasts strong citrus flavours with a subtle spicy finish that still manages to be unlike anything made elsewhere in the world.

Let us know if we need instructions for where to find your house or want us to leave your wine in the shed! Etsu Double Tuzu Gin is fresh with citrus notes, using natural ingredients, giving this gin a unique and light finish. Roku gin celebrates all four seasons of Japan, and its botanicals are carefully harvested at the peak of their season—the "shun". While we have taken care in preparing this summary and believe it to be accurate, it is not a substitute for reading the product packaging and label prior to use. The six Japanese botanicals include Sakura leaf and Sakura flower for spring, Sencha tea (green tea) and Gyokuro tea (refined green tea) for summer, Sansho pepper for autumn and Yuzu peel for winter.The Atelier features four distinct types of pot stills, and in a process unique to Roku, the botanicals are distilled separately according to each feature to extract the best flavour and maintain their individual characteristics.

Whilst Japan is perhaps more well known today for its growing whisky market and more traditional Japanese sake, umeshu, and shochu bottles, gin in the island nation has a definitive oriental touch to it, with many distilleries using botanicals native to the region, including yuzu, sakura blossoms, green tea, and sansho pepper. These include sakura flower for spring, sencha and gyokuro tea for summer, sansho pepper for autumn and yuzu peel for winter. The selection of botanicals is often a closely guarded secret, with each distillery having its own proprietary blend that delivers a complex, harmonious flavour profile.

Roku gin is a celebration of the bounty of nature and careful craftsmanship, drawing upon more than a century of distilling experience and expertise. The Atelier features four distinct types of pot stills, and in a process unique to Roku, the botanicals are distilled separately according to each feature to extract the best flavor and maintain their individual characteristics. Etsu Double Yuzu Gin is distilled at the Akita Distillery, in the Akita prefecture of Japan on Honshu Island.

Starting with one of the largest distilling companies in Japan, Suntory launched their gin, the Suntory Roku Gin, as the first gin in their growing list of distilled spirits. Each botanical has been harvested at the peak of its season to extract the best flavour, then distilled to fully embody the blessings of nature. These represent Suntory's commitment to only use the best ingredients harvested from the best growing areas in Japan. Similarly, the House of Suntory, known for its whiskies, crafts Roku gin, which means "six," a reference to its six uniquely Japanese botanicals. It encapsulates the essence of Japan's natural beauty, the precision of its craftsmanship, and the innovative spirit of its people.It may not be reproduced in any way whatsoever without Ocado Limited's prior consent, nor without due acknowledgement. Since 2016, several other distilleries and even global spirits giants like Suntory and Nikka have joined the fun. While gin is predominantly associated with England and Netherlands, many countries are producers of gin and Japan is no exception.
