These are two types of gin, apple brandy barrel-aged and red wine barrel-aged, created to commemorate the 15th anniversary of "Bar Wizard" in Minamisoma City, Fukushima Prefecture.
The base gin, layered with the umami of torreya nuts and sake lees, with osmanthus, blue ice, and lavender as its core, was aged for approximately two months in each of the respective barrels.
For the botanicals, we used osmanthus from Minamisoma City (from Mr. Kusano's home at Bar Wizard), blue ice (from hinataba), and lavender (from marutt). Additionally, we used juniper berry lees from Tatsumi Distillery, which crafted the Bar Wizard 10th-anniversary gin, sake lees from Pukupuku Brewery in Minamisoma City, and torreya nuts harvested by naturadistill within Fukushima Prefecture.
We hope this bottle will allow the aroma of Minamisoma to continue into the future.

We produced a zine for H BEAUTY&YOUTH to commemorate their 10th anniversary at naturadistill.
H BEAUTY&YOUTH is a high-end concept store developed by UNITED ARROWS. It's a place that proposes an aesthetic sensibility encompassing not only fashion, but also space and culture.
For this bottle, we used a simple botanical composition of blue ice, torreya nut, and juniper berry to express a quiet and dignified flavor reminiscent of a deep forest.
From the label to the wax seal, it turned out to be a beautifully presented bottle.
