Kino Bi Kyoto Gin

The nose offers a robust citrus presence, particularly kumquat and yuzu, accompanied by green tea and pine-forward juniper notes. This provides a clean and somewhat classic gin aroma with a unique twist.

On the palate, KI NO BI starts with a strong citrus flavour, followed by a mid-palate evolution into deeper, earthy tones with hints of camphor and a cool, menthol-like quality reminiscent of eucalyptus. This transitions into flavours of ginger, peppercorn, wormwood, and bitter black tea​.

The finish of KI NO BI Kyoto Dry Gin is long and exceptionally dry, characterized by a delicate interplay of yuzu, red shiso leaves, and juniper which ties all the flavours together.

Ki No Bi Gin is the first craft gin from Kyoto, emphasizing local traditions in its creation. The gin incorporates botanicals that are emblematic of Japanese cuisine and culture, making it not only a beverage but a representation of Kyoto's rich heritage. The distillery itself is a pioneer in the Japanese gin market, setting a standard for premium craft gins in the region.
