Ki No Bi Gin 750ml

Ki No Bi Kyoto Dry Gin is brewed from 11 botanicals, classified into six elements by flavour and aroma – base, citrus, herbal, spice, green tea, and fruity & floral with Fushimi water. To make the Kyoto gin, the Ki No Bi team selected the middle cut of the recipes, where flavours and aromas are most distinctive. Each batch is allowed to rest in the blending tank to encourage the assimilation of alcohol and water. Ki No Bi Kyoto Gin speaks of its birthplace. As clear as the air in Kyoto’s sacred mountains, a fresh yuzu aroma, and a thread of sanshō that lingers like a morning mist in a bamboo forest. The juniper complements and showcases the Japanese botanicals. Ginger root gives a slightly warming and spicy finish, with a hint of gyokuro tea. Ki No Bi uses a rice spirit base and pure groundwater sourced from the famous sake-brewing district of Fushimi. It has a taste that speaks of its birthplace, which is as clear as the air in the sacred mountains of Kyoto with a fresh aroma of yuzu. Tonic water heightens the aromas of yuzu and sansho. Combine both ingredients in a highball glass and stir. In a mixing glass, add dry vermouth over ice and stir. Pour the vermouth into a small glass and add an olive, then add Ki No Bi dry gin to the mixing glass, stir and pour into a chilled glass, and garnish it with a squeeze of lemon peel, for a delicious cocktail.
