Crafted in the historic city of Kyoto, this premium dry gin harmoniously blends traditional British distilling techniques with Japanese botanicals, creating a spirit that is both timeless and innovative.

'Ki No Bi,' meaning "The Beauty of the Seasons," is a reflection of Kyoto’s rich cultural heritage and natural beauty. The Kyoto Distillery, Japan's first dedicated gin distillery, uses a meticulous approach to crafting this exceptional gin. The process starts with a rice spirit base, which provides a smooth and clean foundation. This is then enhanced by a selection of local botanicals, each carefully chosen to represent the essence of Kyoto.

The botanical blend includes yuzu (a citrus fruit with a bright, zesty flavor), hinoki wood (Japanese cypress) for a touch of earthy elegance, bamboo leaves for a hint of freshness, green tea for a delicate bitterness, shiso leaves for a subtle herbal note, and ginger for a warm, spicy kick. These botanicals are distilled separately in a unique process to capture their purest essence, then meticulously blended to create a balanced and harmonious flavor profile.

Upon opening a bottle of 'Ki No Bi' Kyoto Dry Gin, you are greeted with an inviting aroma that sets the stage for the tasting experience.

On the palate, 'Ki No Bi' is incredibly smooth and refined. The initial burst of yuzu provides a vibrant citrus kick, beautifully balanced by the earthy and woody undertones of hinoki and bamboo. The mid-palate reveals layers of green tea and shiso, adding depth and complexity, while the ginger imparts a gentle warmth that lingers pleasantly. The finish is long and clean, with a refreshing crispness that leaves you wanting more.
