Akori Yuzu Gin is produced in Spain by Destilerias Campeny as part of the Akori range, a collection of gins designed to explore softer, aromatic profiles inspired by Japanese flavor traditions. While the inspiration draws on East Asian citrus and balance, the production itself remains firmly rooted in Spanish distilling expertise.

A key characteristic of Akori Yuzu Gin is its rice-based spirit, used in place of a conventional neutral grain alcohol. This choice contributes to a smooth and rounded base that allows citrus aromas to express themselves clearly. The botanical composition is intentionally focused, built around juniper and yuzu, the Japanese citrus fruit known for its vivid aromatic intensity and complex acidity.

On the nose, the gin opens with a bright and expressive citrus profile. Yuzu delivers sharp, fresh aromas combining lemon, mandarin, and subtle floral nuances. Juniper remains present but restrained, providing structure without overshadowing the citrus character.

The palate is clean and lively. The rice spirit gives a soft, silky texture, while yuzu zest brings crisp acidity and a slightly bitter edge. Juniper supports the mid-palate, maintaining the identity of the gin. The finish is fresh and persistent, marked by lingering citrus oils and a light, dry bitterness.

Akori Yuzu Gin is particularly well suited to a Gin and Tonic with a neutral tonic that allows the yuzu to remain dominant. It also works effectively in citrus-forward cocktails where clarity and freshness are essential.
