Ukiyo Japanese Blossom Gin
Blossom Gin starts with locally grown barley, distilled into exquisite shochu, then redistilled with juniper, regional citrus, cherry blossom, and native botanicals. Elegantly balanced, it captures the delicate fragrances of Kagoshima’s mountains and coastline, offering a refined, aromatic experience where clarity, craftsmanship, and nature’s subtle beauty unite in every sublime sip.
How can something come from nothing? It is upon this fundamental age-old question that Third Island Vodka is built. Vodka, by definition, should be as close to 'nothing' as possible - completely devoid of all distinction, character, and individuality. We disagree. And as it turns out, our answer was around us all along. Blessed with only pure Stewart Island rain as our water source, our innovative filtration technique incorporates sustainably-foraged paua, mussel, and oyster shells from the pristine Southern Ocean. A final, polishing touch of free-flowing tannin-rich waters collected off the very rock of Rakiura herself all result in an exquisitely smooth mouthfeel and delicate minerality fully absent of any pronounced additional flavour. When it comes to vodka, our philosophy has never faltered: A little something makes all the difference, for nothing hardly comes close.
