Etsu Pacific Ocean Taste Gin
Etsu Pacific Ocean Taste Gin – Japanese Craft Gin Inspired by the Pacific
Etsu Pacific Ocean Taste Gin is a distinctive and evocative Japanese craft gin produced in Hokkaido, Japan — the northernmost island of Japan, where the rugged coastline meets the vast Pacific Ocean. Etsu (悉) means pleasure in Japanese, and this expression channels the spirit of the Pacific through a unique botanical selection that captures the essence of Japan's maritime landscape.
Crafted with the same meticulous attention to detail that defines the Etsu range, Pacific Ocean Taste Gin offers a distinctly coastal, mineral character that sets it apart from the distillery's citrus-forward expressions — a gin that tastes like the sea breeze off Hokkaido's shores.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Fresh maritime air, coastal minerality, delicate botanicals, and a subtle floral lift
- Palate: Smooth and layered with gentle brine, juniper, Asian botanicals, and a clean oceanic freshness
- Finish: Crisp, clean, and refreshing with a lingering coastal minerality
Cocktail Suggestions
Etsu Pacific Ocean Taste Gin shines in a Japanese Gin & Tonic with a slice of cucumber and sea salt rim, a Dirty Martini with a saline twist, or a Gimlet where its clean, mineral character can shine. Also exceptional neat or over ice as a contemplative sipping gin.
