OKA Brand Gin

Origin: Kyushu, Japan 

Juniper is the one indispensable ingredient in any gin and OKA Gin uses two types. The European variety used is piney and bright with all the classic aromatics associated with gin. Its Himalayan counterpart has a deeper, earthy flavor that provides balance and nuance. During production periods, OKA Gin combines in-season citrus to add a fresh, bright zest of aroma to this gin. It uses ginger to similar effect, adding a spicy, bitter-sweet clarity to the gin. This is a balanced and robust gin with a rich body any gin lover will appreciate. Wonderful in your favorite highball or negroni riff, this gin absolutely crushes when paired with bright citrus and will grab the attention of even the staunchest juniper-loving purist. This may become your new daily drinker.
