Garnish
Yuzu PeelMaGin Ki Yuzu is a Belgian organic flavored gin built around yuzu and vanilla. The official 500 ml bottle shows a strength of 40% ABV and places its manga-inspired identity directly on the label. MaGin CORP is based in Seraing, while production takes place in small stills at an unnamed partner distillery in the province of Liège. That distinction matters: MaGin is the public brand and creative project, but the available information does not identify the physical distilling partner.
The documented botanical line is short and easy to understand. Juniper provides the dry gin foundation, yuzu gives a bright citrus aroma with both lemon- and mandarin-like facets, and vanilla softens the centre with a warmer, rounder note. The official product page describes the meeting of yuzu freshness and vanilla softness as the heart of the bottle. No additional botanicals are publicly confirmed, so the profile is best read through the tension between vivid citrus, gentle sweetness of aroma and juniper.
The nose begins with yuzu: fresh peel, lively citrus oil and a fragrant edge that is more complex than lemon alone. Vanilla arrives behind it, rounding the aroma without erasing the fruit. On the palate, juniper gives the first sip a dry botanical line, followed by yuzu through the middle and a smoother vanilla note towards the finish. At 40%, the texture remains approachable. The final impression balances citrus freshness and soft spice-like warmth, without requiring extra sweetness in the serve.
Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic Water suits that balance when used with restraint. Pour 5 cl over abundant clear ice, add 10 cl of tonic and finish with a narrow yuzu peel, or a thin lemon peel when fresh yuzu is unavailable. The tonic's gentle herbal character supports juniper while leaving the citrus vivid. Do not add vanilla syrup or a sweet garnish: vanilla is already part of the gin, and the best service lets it appear naturally after the yuzu-led opening.
