Production of Yu Gin by Spiritique

The Yu Gin is produced in France's renowned Cognac region by the distillery Spiritique. Inspired by the Japanese Wabi-Sabi philosophy, which emphasizes simplicity and naturalness, the recipe focuses on a few carefully selected botanicals. The main ingredients are juniper berries, yuzu, Szechuan pepper, coriander seeds, and licorice. These are distilled in traditional copper stills to ensure a pure and authentic aroma. The use of yuzu, a citrus fruit highly valued in Japan, gives the gin its characteristic freshness and complexity. The entire production process is carried out in small batches to guarantee the highest quality and consistency.
