Ki No Bi "Sei" Kyoto Dry Gin

"Penetrating, drier styled aromas of crushed pine buds, menthol balm, liquorice root, coriander seed and late suggestions of chamomile tea. Follows through in a booming, mouth-filling attack of lemon gelato, coriander seed and creamy juniper flavours. The finish is spiced-up, sustained and invigorating."

KI NO BI SEI is made with the same intricate production method as the original KI NO BI; using 11 botanicals distilled in six distinct flavour categories. The final blend has been recalibrated by our distilling team to bring out the best of each botanical at the higher proof. Although often confused with 100 Proof or 57.1% ABV, this bottling is at the traditional British Navy Strength of 54.5% ABV.

The Kyoto Distillery is Japan’s first dedicated artisanal gin distillery and is 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 (Japanese sake). Kyoto Distillery's aim is to simply produce the best authentic dry gin possible, utilising local ingredients and botanicals combined with unique design and craftsmanship of the packaging.
