Asia has a long history of using botanicals, spices and aromatic ingredients in food, medicine and ritual, making it fertile ground for modern gin. From Japanese citrus and tea to Indian spices, Southeast Asian herbs and Chinese botanicals, distillers are drawing on an extraordinary palette of flavours.
Asian gin is often about balance, fragrance and a strong sense of place — bringing traditional ingredients and regional flavours into a spirit with its roots in Europe, and creating some wonderfully distinctive modern gins along the way.
