Le Negroni classique avec Kanomori
Kanoshizuku : with 40° and eleven botanical elements, this is the accessible version of the range. The delicate nose evokes mountain herbs, with intense medicinal notes. The palate is soft, then asserts itself with spicier notes. The long finish leaves the palate pleasantly perfumed.
Kanomori : the tasting version of the range with 19 botanical elements and 47°5. The nose is rich, with notes of citrus, herbs and spices. Soft on the palate, it gains in intensity with subtle scents of citrus, wild herbs and medicinal plants, literally giving the impression of a walk in the woods.
The 19 botanical elements that make up Kanomori
Yomeishu House
Located in the mountains of Nagano. Its history dates back to 1602, when it first marketed a medicinal liqueur based on the use of plants, in particular a local shrub called "Kuromoji".
Producing gins is a brand-new challenge, which she has taken up by investing in an Arnold Holstein pot still. The idea is to exploit the full aromatic richness of the kuromoji, where a column still would have produced a less fragrant gin. The botanicals are separated into several batches, one of which is composed entirely of Kuromoji. They are distilled separately, then blended before a final adjustment by dilution with water (and not by adding alcohol), which ensures that all the subtleties of the botanical elements remain intact.
