Mars Wa Bi Gin Vol.45% Cl..70

Wa Bi Gin is a craft gin produced by the renowned Mars Tsunuki Distillery, located in Kagoshima Prefecture, in the far south of Japan.

This distillery is historically known for producing excellent whisky, and has applied the same mastery and dedication to creating a gin that embodies the spirit of the region.

The name "Wa Bi" is composed of characters that evoke "Japanese Beauty" and harmony.

It represents the perfect balance between Western distillation techniques and the botanical soul of Japan.

Unlike industrial gins, Wa Bi Gin is distilled in small batches using pot stills.

The alcohol base is of the highest quality, but the real secret lies in the selection of botanicals, many of which come directly from the lush Kagoshima region.

The aromatic profile is defined by nine carefully selected main botanicals:

Juniper: The classic backbone of gin.

Yuzu and Hebesu: Japanese citrus fruits that lend a vibrant and complex freshness.

Green Tea (Yame Tea): Provides a deep, slightly bitter herbal note.

Ginger: For a spicy, pungent touch.

Shiso Leaves: A typical aromatic plant that adds balsamic freshness.

Coriander, Cinnamon, and Sansho Pepper: To complete the bouquet with warmth and persistence.

Mars Wa Bi Gin is extremely versatile and can be enjoyed neat with a single crystalline ice cube, to discover every aromatic nuance.

Gin and Tonic: Serve with high-quality neutral tonic water and a twist of yuzu or lemon to avoid overpowering the delicate botanicals.

Martini Cocktail: For those who wish to appreciate the purity and elegance of the spirit.

Mars Wa Bi Gin is not just a spirit, but a tribute to nature and Japanese culture.

It is the ideal choice for enthusiasts seeking a sophisticated gin, combining Mars's distilling tradition with the exotic aromas of the East.
