KI NO BI (The Beauty of the Seasons) is inspired by tradition and is distilled, blended and bottle in Kyoto. This gin is made in a recognizable dry style, but with a distinct Japanese accent. KI NO BI Kyoto Dry Gin is created with FRESH Japanese botanicals such as yellow Yuzu, Kinoki (Japanese cypress), Bamboo, Gyokuro Green Tea, Shiso and Green Sansho (Japanese Szechuan Peppercorn). Bottled at 45.7% ABV and with a rice base spirit, Kyoto Distillery has mastered not only the science of distillation but also the age-old art of blending, and separates the botanicals into six different categories: base, citrus, tea, herbal, spice, and floral. Each category is distilled individually, then blended in perfect balance to create the distinct KI NO BI flavor.
TASTING NOTES
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 FRESH Japanese botanicals. A tingling sensation mid-palate from the Sansho leads to a slightly warming, spicy finish from the Ginger. 45.7% ABV

The aim is simple: to produce the best dry gin, utilizing local botanicals wherever possible. Every element of the final product should be completely authentic, from the local FRESH sourcing of the ingredients through to the design and craftsmanship of the packaging.
