A Bold Kyoto Artistry – Ki No Bi Sei Kyoto Dry Gin
Ki No Bi Sei Kyoto Dry Gin is an intensified expression of Japan’s revered gin craftsmanship, born in the heart of Kyoto. Distilled at The Kyoto Distillery, the nation’s first dedicated gin distillery, this spirit pays homage to traditional Japanese botanicals and meticulous blending, presented at a robust 54.5% ABV to showcase exceptional depth and clarity.
Tasting Experience
Color: Crystal clear with a silken texture.
Nose: Elegant and aromatic, with bursts of yuzu, green tea, and juniper, balanced by fresh sansho pepper and soft herbal florals.
Palate: Full-bodied and vibrant, revealing layered notes of citrus zest, orris root, bamboo leaf, and delicate gyokuro tea. The higher proof accentuates the purity and harmony of the botanicals while adding a refined intensity.
Finish: Long, warming, and perfectly balanced, leaving a lingering trace of spice, citrus, and earthy green tea.
Craftsmanship
Crafted in small batches using rice spirit as a base, Ki No Bi Sei is distilled through a six-element botanical system, where each group—base, citrus, tea, herbal, spice, and floral—is individually distilled and then blended with pristine Fushimi water. This careful process highlights the Japanese philosophy of balance and precision. The botanicals include yuzu, hinoki wood, sansho pepper, bamboo leaves, and gyokuro green tea, each sourced locally from Kyoto Prefecture.
Best Enjoyed
Savor neat to appreciate its layered intensity, or enjoy in a highball with chilled tonic and a twist of yuzu peel. It also elevates classic gin cocktails with its luxurious texture and bold character.
