The Gin That Bites Back — Beautifully

Dancing Sands Wasabi Strength Gin isn’t for the faint-hearted, it’s for the flavor seekers. Bottled at a bold 58% ABV, this limited edition is a daring fusion of bright botanicals and New Zealand-grown wasabi root. It’s not just spicy, it’s aromatic, clean, and unforgettable. A gin with backbone, brilliance, and a serious kick.

Tasting Profile

Nose:
Vibrant and assertive, waves of citrus zest, crisp juniper, and a subtle wasabi warmth that tingles the senses like fresh ginger and cracked pepper.

Palate:
Explosive and elegant. Juniper-forward with bursts of lime, kaffir leaf, and herbal heat. The wasabi note rises mid-palate, sharp but never overwhelming giving way to a cool, dry lift. Complex, clean, and thrillingly unique.

Finish:
Long and dry, with a lingering peppery spice and fresh green earthiness. It exits like a mic drop, smooth, fiery, and unforgettable.

Interesting Fact

Real New Zealand wasabi is one of the rarest (and most expensive) crops in the world, and Dancing Sands distills it fresh, not as a flavoring. This gin is possibly the only one to use true wasabi root as a hero botanical.

Serving Suggestions

Serve it chilled and neat to experience its layered power. For cocktails, try it in a Wasabi Martini (just a splash of dry vermouth and lemon twist) or a G&T with premium tonic and cucumber ribbon. It's not just a pour, it's a performance.
