Ki No Bi Kyoto Dry Gin, 70 cl

Produced at Japan’s Kyoto Distillery, Ki No Bi is the first gin to be made in the city. Made with a rice spirit and botanicals including yellow yuzu, Japanese cypress, green tea, bamboo and sanso berries (Japanese peppercorn), this has classic juniper notes which complement the Japanese botanicals. With a warming and spicy finish, this will make a delicious G&T.

Product Description

The Kyoto Distillery was established in 2014 by the three founders: Noriko Kakuda Croll, David Croll and Marcin Miller.

The company may still be in its infancy, but the founders journey to build one of the most innovative distilleries in the world began some 20 years ago. Noriko and David established a whisky importing company in Tokyo in the late 1990s to introduce discerning Japanese whisky enthusiasts to a variety of distinguished single malts from independent Scottish distilleries. In this capacity, they met Marcin Miller, at the time Editor and Publisher of Whisky Magazine. Together they created a Japanese language version of the magazine, and launched whisky tasting event Whisky Live in 2000.
