Wine Enthusiast 93 points - Subtle, nuanced and light, the first sips open with citrusy yuzu peel and a mild floral note reminiscent of sakura flower, which lingers effortlessly into the finish. Tea botanicals sencha and gyokuro add a grounding, earthy element wrapping up with a flicker of ginger heat..August/2019
Ultimate Beverage Challenge 92 points - This gin is fragrant and generously displays perfumed aromas of exotic flowers, orange zest, pink peppercorn and river rocks minerality. On the palate, the heat is pleasantly balanced by the cooling flavors of cucumber, cherry blossom, and white cherries. - 2019 Ultimate Spirits Challenge (Excellent, Highly Recommended).April/2019
