Alchemiae Gin

The Tatsumi Distillery is an incredibly unique distillery that was established by Shohei Tatsumi as a ‘one man’ operation in 2017. Located in the heart of Gifu Prefecture, in the traditional city of Gujo Hachiman, a quaint town at the foot of the Japanese Alps. Brewing techniques remain true to traditional practices and materials, using a copper pot still and a Kabutogama wooden still to create superb Gin and Absinthe.

The Alchemiae Gin is made with simply one botanical - Juniper berry. The Juniper is sourced from northern Macedonia and is some of the best available in the market. The Gin is distilled from two different Shochu bases, Sake Lees Shochu & Chicory Shochu. Utilising the famous Kabutogama still the Gin from Tatsumi-san is all handmade in very small batches of less than 500 bottles to maintain consistency.

TASTING NOTES: Woody like coniferous tree, hint of scent of citrus, perfume (fruity similar to Ginjo-Sake). On the palate clear juniper berry, very pleasantly spicy, after taste has a complexity and richness from the base spirits.
