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.
Very nice gin for a straight g&t slice of lemon perfect
Bought as a birthday present and absolutely gorgeous. 50ml gin, 150 tonic. Mint, lime, cucumber and a good amount of ice. Perfection.
Awful. No strong gin flavour whatsoever.
One of the best Gin to drink neat. Very well balanced. I find it slightly flat when drinking chilled and I prefer to drink it room temperature. I haven't yet to try warming it up slightly to see the effect before my bottle runs out.
Seriously good Balanced flavours which bring so many fond memories of Japan in Spring time , Awesome Neat on Ice and Fabulous mixer.
