Yu Gin

Sichuan pepper, coriander, juniper, and...yuzu? Intrigued yet?

Spiritique is on a mission to deliver unparalleled, avant-garde French-crafted drinks. Among their star offerings is Yu Gin, a meticulously crafted French Gin with a nod to Japanese heritage and traditions. Drawing inspiration from the minimalist grace of Wabi Sabi, Yu Gin embraces the philosophy of Gin-making that prizes using only the essential. Wabi Sabi isn't just an aesthetic; it’s a worldview with a proclivity for complexity and a respect for simplicity — it's a fleeting sensation of beauty that pays homage to the passage of time and its charming flaws.

When you check the ingredient list for this Yu Gin, one thing probably pops right out. The blend consists of a tongue-tingling kick of Sichuan pepper, piquant coriander, soothing juniper, and zesty yuzu. So right off the bat, you might pause and ponder… what in the world is yuzu? Well, it’s a petite fruit that falls somewhere between a lemon and a clementine. Although it’s not exactly a looker with its abundance of seeds and thick skin, it boasts some seriously impressive qualities that have secured its spot in the domains of gastronomy and perfumery. The Japanese, in particular, have harnessed its soothing and rejuvenating properties for ages, even including it in their bathing traditions during the frosty winter solstice. And Yu Gin has captured the essence of its subtle freshness that plays out in a crisp medley of intricate botanicals.
