First Impressions
Akori Cherry Blossom is a Spanish gin inspired by Japan — produced by family-owned Destilerías Campeny. Cherry blossom, ginger, dragon fruit and kumquat create an East-meets-West fusion that balances exotic citrus with delicate floral elegance.
Tasting
The nose is fruity and fresh with citrus fruits, ginger and Japanese cherry blossom. On the palate, rich and balanced with pleasant fresh cherry blossom, exotic citrus, dragon fruit, kumquat and subtly spicy ginger. The finish is long-lasting with floral notes persisting.
The Bottom Line
Akori Cherry Blossom earns a 7 for a creative cultural fusion gin. The Japanese cherry blossom adds genuine delicacy, and the dragon fruit and kumquat provide exotic citrus interest. Best with tonic and lime or ginger to enhance the spice.
