Description: Introducing the exquisite dry gin produced by The Kyoto Distillery, nestled in the heart of Kyoto, Japan. This exceptional gin captures the essence of its surroundings, incorporating locally sourced Japanese botanicals and traditional distillation techniques to create a spirit that is both expressive and elegant.
Crafted using rice spirit as its base, this gin showcases the unique flavors and aromas of 11 meticulously selected Japanese botanicals. From the classic juniper to the vibrant yellow yuzu, the distinctive akamatsu (Japanese red pine) to the aromatic red shiso leaves, each botanical adds its own layer of complexity to the final product. Bamboo leaves, ginger, lemon, orris, gyokuro tea from the Uji region, green sanshō (Japanese Szechuan peppercorn), and kinome (leaves from the peppercorn tree) complete this exceptional blend.
To ensure optimal flavor extraction, the botanicals are macerated in rice spirit and distilled separately. This meticulous process captures the essence of each botanical, allowing their individual flavors to shine. The distillates are then blended and left to marry in stainless steel, resulting in a harmonious fusion of flavors that is truly captivating.
To achieve the perfect balance, this flagship gin is proofed down with water sourced from the renowned Fushimi region. Known for its delicate brewing water, this water imparts a distinct purity and smoothness to the final product.
