Jinzu Gin is a Scottish made, Japan inspired gin with an English woman at its heart. Designed by bartender Dee Davies for Diageo’s Show Your Spirit competition in 2013 (which it went on to win), the gin is a fantastic example of East meets West, with traditional gin botanicals joining cherry blossom, yuzu and sake to form a distinctive gin with a real sense of place.

(in Japanese) Jinzu Gin is the unique idea from British barkeeper Dee Davies. Jinzu won Diageo?s high-profile competition ?Show Your Spirit? and was taken-on by the company. The spirit uses British gin as a base, having the classic juniper perfume which is beloved by millions. Sake from cherry blossom is adding during distillation to create a gin, the likes of which you have never seen before. Two alcohols in one, what could be better?

(in Japanese) This tasty gin is exactly as quoted on the bottle and above – and is yet another find from our trusty Gin Scouts, Bill and Lesley. Jinzu Gin is distilled in Scotland yet is presented with a very Japanese style of painting on the bottle depicting cherry branches and blossom. Its name also giving a hint of the anomalous treasures within and apparently named after Japan’s Jinzu River, which is lined with thousands of cherry trees. Scottish made Jinzu is just one example of the blooming tipple. Designed by bartender Dee Davies for Diageo’s Show Your Spirit competition in 2013, this gin includes cherry blossom, yuzu and sake to create a twist on the classic juniper flavour.
