135 East Gin - Hyogo Dry Gin - Premium Japanese Gin - 42%
135° East is a prestigious Japanese gin brand, carefully crafted by the Kaikyō distillery. Located in the exceptional Hyogo region, facing the picturesque Seto Inland Sea, this distillery benefits from a unique climate: hot and humid summers with temperatures reaching up to 39°C, mild and dry winters, and constant sea winds that influence the quality of the ingredients. The Yonezawa family, pioneers in the art of spirits, settled in Akashi as early as 1856. After perfecting traditional sake brewing, they began distillation in 1917. Today, Kimio Yonezawa, a recognized master blender, continues this unique heritage through his deep expertise and international collaborations, notably with renowned Master Distillers and Blenders from Scotland, contributing to the distillery's global reputation.
This exceptional gin is meticulously crafted from a harmonious blend of 3 classic European botanicals and 5 rare Japanese botanicals, all selected from passionate small local producers and the best Japanese experts. Each botanical is distilled separately to preserve the full purity and intensity of its unique aromas. The distillation is carried out using an innovative vacuum distillation process, a technique often used in high perfumery to ensure the finesse, subtlety, and aromatic complexity of the gin. The result is a Japanese gin of incomparable elegance, ideal for connoisseurs seeking an authentic and refined spirit.
