Etsu Double Orange Japanese Gin

Double Orange is Etsu's sunniest gin — a seven-day maceration of bitter orange that turns the Japanese house's citrus signature into a full-on orange grove. Etsu means "pleasure" in Japanese, and the Geisha on every label stands for omotenashi, the art of wholehearted welcome. This expression is distilled at Akita on the island of Honshū with pure water from the Ōu Mountains, taking the Etsu botanical bill — pre-dried yuzu peel for zest, green bitter orange peel for body, coriander for sweetness and a menthol lift, juniper, licorice root, and angelica for structure — and doubling down on the orange: the green bitter orange is macerated for a full week before distillation, which draws out the fruit's fragrant, faintly floral, marmalade-like depth rather than just its zest. Bottled at 43% ABV. Expect a fragrant, sunny nose of fresh bitter orange and orange blossom over the cool citrus-and-juniper base, opening into a rounded, gently sweet palate where the orange reads juicy and aromatic — more Seville marmalade than candy — with yuzu keeping it bright and juniper keeping it gin, finishing warm and citrusy. It's the Etsu for a G&T with an orange wheel, a Gin Sour, an Orange Blossom cocktail with fresh juice, or a Negroni where the citrus already lives in the gin. Sits alongside the saline Pacific Ocean Water and the floral Sakura in a range built on single ideas. Japanese craft, in orange.
