Initially bottled for the 2017 Tokyo International Bar Show, the Kyoto Distillery's Ki No Bi Navy Strength is made with the same 11 botanicals distilled in six flavour categories as the original expression, but with the final blend tweaked to fully showcase the botanicals at the higher proof. Fun fact: Ki No Bi Navy Strength is bottled at 54.4% ABV, which was always the traditional British Navy Strength (rather than the more widely used 57%).
Classic Ki No Bi freshness, but packing a punch. Yuzu and juniper notes really sing.
Refreshingly floral and aromatic, with but with a real creamy, full-bodied mouthfeel.
Long, led by classic juniper and citrus notes.
Elegant and harmonious, even with the hefty ABV. Perfect for cocktails, or a more robust G&T.
From the bottle, I was greeted by a huge bouquet of citrus notes, particularly lemon and ouzo, with juniper not far behind. From the packaging and the high ABV, I was expecting something that would be essential to water down so initially tried with with tonic water in a 2:1 ratio so the gin dominates – it's dangerously drinkable. On its own, or with some ice, it's even tastier and surprisingly smooth. I am tempted to buy others from the same distillery and another bottle of this.
Sublime... Only 3,000 bottles produced limited release for 2017.... worth a try! Loads on Juniper, lemon, yuzu (Japanese fruit), and freshness of green tea, ginger... good balance!
