KI NO BI Kyoto Dry Gin

KI NO BI Kyoto Dry Gin has a fresh aroma of yuzu, and a thread of sansho that lingers like a morning mist in a bamboo forest. The juniper complements and showcases the Japanese botanicals; yellow yuzu from the north of Kyoto Prefecture, hinoki wood chips (Japanese cypress), bamboo, gyokuro tea from the Uji region and green sanshō (Japanese peppercorn) berries. Ginger root gives a slightly warming, spicy finish.
