The Kyoto Ki Noh Bi Ex-Karuizawa Cask Dry Gin 1st Edition is a unique cask-aged gin produced by the Kyoto Distillery. This edition is notable for its maturation in sherry butts that were previously used to age Karuizawa single malt whisky. The gin is bottled at a strength of 48% ABV and comes in a 700ml bottle. The label features the Noh Mask “Shakumi,” continuing the tradition of Number One Drinks.

Tasting Note

This gin offers a complex and rich profile, influenced by its time in the Karuizawa sherry casks. The aging process imparts deep, layered flavours that complement the botanical elements of the gin. Expect notes of candied fruits, a hint of sherry sweetness, and a subtle smokiness from the whisky cask. The finish is long and warming, with a balanced blend of the gin's inherent botanicals and the rich, oaky characteristics from the cask aging process.
