TASTING NOTES
KI NO BI: a gin that speaks of its birthplace. As clear as the air in the sacred mountains of Kyoto. 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.
ABV 45.7%
Base: KI NO BI uses juniper, orris and akamatsu as its base ingredients.
These constitute our gin’s basic flavour structure, and account for more than half of the botanicals used.
Citrus: KI NO BI includes yuzu and lemon among its botanicals.
Yuzu is a Japanese citrus fruit, giving our gin a distinctive flavour when distilled.
Herbal: Sanshō pepper and kinome give KI NO BI an oriental and spicy aroma, which mainly features on the finish.
Spice: Ginger gives a sharp and juicy mouthfeel, adding complexity to our gin.
Green Tea: The green tea laces through the other distillates during the blending process and helps to bring them all together in harmony.
Fruity & Floral: Bamboo leaves and shiso add a fruity and floral essence to the underlying flavour of KI NO BI.
