Ki No Bi Gin Bottling Note
A triple pack from the Ki No Bi, Japanese distillery in Kyoto. A 20cl bottle of Ki No Bi Dry Gin, Ki No Bi Tea Gin and Ki No Bi 'Sei' Navy Strength Gin Located in Minami-Ku, in the south part of Kyoto City, close to the Fushimi region, famed for hundreds of years for its production of delicious nihon-Shu. The Kyoto Distillery, Japan's first dedicated artisanal gin distillery
Ki No Bi Gin is the first release from the Kyoto Distillery! Unveiled in 2016, Ki No Bi Gin has been made using a rice spirit base, as well as a selection of botanicals including locally-sourced ingredients - the likes of yuzu, hinoki wood chips, bamboo leaves, green sansho and gyokuro tea. The botanicals are split into six flavour groups (Base, Citrus, Tea, Spice, Fruity & Floral and Herbal), and each group is distilled individually before being blended together. Properly incredible stuff, this.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Floral and aromatic with refreshing yuzu standing out. Subtly earthy, oak-y elements develop, joined by a kick of ginger.
