Okayama
Craft Gin
Specification
Bottle — 500 ml
A Japanese craft gin from Okayama, bottled at 50% and built for it. Juniper leads clean and resinous, with a peppery heat that sits high on the palate. Water opens it: citrus peel, a dry cereal note from the base spirit, a long warm finish. Little sweetness, plenty of grip.
Serve — suggested, not sourced
Tonic — Fever-Tree Indian Tonic Water, 1:2 — the extra strength needs the dilution
Garnish — A wide strip of grapefruit peel
Martini
gin · dry vermouth · lemon
Stirred cold with dry vermouth, strained, lemon twist.
Why this gin — At 50% the Okayama holds its shape against vermouth and dilution, so the juniper stays sharp down to the last sip.
