KI NO BI Kyoto Dry Gin, 70 cl with Gift Box

Product Information

KI NO BI has a recognisable dry gin flavour with a Japanese accent: pure, perfectly balanced with distinctive aromas and a lingering finish of light ginger.

In what may be a world first, KI NO BI Kyoto Dry Gin has been aged in oak barriques sourced from the Champagne region’s Argonne Forest and previously used to mature Henri Giraud’s finest Champagnes. The botanicals are grouped into six flavour camps, which are individually distilled before being expertly blended. Guided by kaizen (continuous improvement) The Kyoto Distillery uses botanicals such as yellow yuzu, hinoki wood chips, bamboo, gyokuro tea and green sanshō (peppercorn) berries, and water collected weekly from a well, to make its dry gin flavour. A prominent citrus aroma of tangy yuzu – a bit like a lemon-lime-grapefruit hybrid – comes to the fore, with a background of smashed basil and white pepper.Finally, the gin is blended with the exceptional water of Fushimi, long famous for its fine sake brewing.
