Jinzu gin was created by British bartender, Dee Davies for Diageo’s Show Your Spirit competition in 2013. Jinzu British Gin finished with Sake was created by Dee Davies, following a winning entry in the World Class ‘Show your Spirit’ competition where bartenders were invited to create their own liquid and brand.Hearst UK is the trading name of the National Magazine Company Ltd, 30 Panton Street, Leicester Square, London, SW1Y 4AJ.

The gin is made in Diageo’s Cameronbridge Distillery in Scotland and was initially distilled under the watchful eye of Tanqueray distiller Tom Nichol (who retired in 2015). Sake from cherry blossom is adding during distillation to create a gin, the likes of which you have never seen before. Jinzu Gin, a compound gin with juniper and sake distillate, is the brainchild of bartender Dee Davies, who entered her concept into the Diageo's Show Your Spirit competition of 2013. This leads to a spirit that’s aromatic, clean and crisp that works particularly well in a gin and tonic.The gin comes off the still at around 82%, and the Junmai sake – which is also made onsite – comes off at 60%. Several bars, including The Dorchester, have it exclusively made for their drinks, but there are several good recreations for general sale, including this one from Hayman's. Gin and tonics on the whole are reasonably low in calories when pitted against other alcoholic drinks.
