Ki No Bi

Volume: 700ml / ABV: 45.7%

Inspired by tradition, distilled, blended and bottled in Kyoto, Ki No Bi is made in a recognisably dry style but with a distinct Japanese accent. Ki No Bi Kyoto Dry Gin is created with Japanese botanicals such as yellow yuzu from the north of Kyoto Prefecture, akamatsu wood chips (Japanese red pine), bamboo, gyokuro tea from the Uji region and green sanshō (Japanese peppercorn) berries. Bottled at 45.7% abv, it uses a rice spirit base and pure ground water sourced from the famous sake-brewing district of Fushimi.

Tasting Note

A fresh aroma of yuzu, and a thread of sanshō that lingers like a morning mist in a bamboo forest. The juniper complements and showcases the Japanese botanicals. Ginger root gives a slightly warming and spicy finish, with a hint of gyokuro tea.
