An excellent gin from Japan's legendary House of Suntory - Roku Gin. This expression is made using a selection of botanicals, including six Japanese botanicals that provide a whistle-stop tour of the four seasons. These include sakura leaf and sakura flower for spring, sencha tea and gyokuro tea for summer, sansho pepper for autumn and yuzu peel for winter. Traditional gin botanicals also featured include the likes of juniper, orange peel, lemon peel, coriander and cinnamon, among others.
Earthy and vegetal, with a light whisper of fruity sweetness hiding underneath. Peppery notes develop on the finish.
Cherry blossom and green tea provide a floral and sweet aroma.
Complex, multi layered, yet harmonious flavour of various botanicals. Traditional gin taste in the base, plus characteristic Japanese botanical notes with yuzu as the top note. Smooth and silky texture.
The crisp Japanese sansho pepper brings a little spiciness to the finish.
Special edition Roku-
Clean & very pleasant fragrance, only needs a few ice cubes & a rind of citrus, anything more may overpower its subtle taste
This is by far the best gin I ever tried!
Blatant attempt by mega-corp sun Tory to get into the gin market. Clearly not enough money left in copying scotch whisky. Tastes good though
one of the nicest gin on the planet. The Japanese really know how to make drinks! Amazing!!!
