TASTING NOTES

COLOR: KI NO BI SEI Kyoto Dry Gin comes in a crystalline, clear and bright, almost translucent hue. Its clean appearance reflects the purity of its distillation process and the attention to detail in its production. The clarity of the gin invites visual enjoyment before the complexity of its aromas and flavours is revealed.

NOSE: On the nose, it opens with a fresh and enveloping fragrance reminiscent of a walk through the gardens of Kyoto in spring. The first hints are of a delicate blend of light citrus fruits, such as yuzu, together with an herbal note evoking the freshness of native Japanese plants. As it deepens, floral and spicy nuances emerge that add complexity, together with a light essence of wet earth and wood, giving it a natural and elegant air. The combination is harmonious, fresh and rich in layers, awakening curiosity.

TASTE: On the palate, KI NO BI SEI offers a smooth and velvety texture, with an elegant but balanced body. Despite its initial delicacy, the flavour develops with a complexity that reflects its careful distillation process. The entry is fresh, almost crisp, with a slight acidity reminiscent of the citrus and herbs that make up its botanical blend. As it fades on the palate, spicy, subtly warm notes emerge, providing depth and character. Its finish is long, persistent, with a refreshing sensation and perfectly balanced between smoothness and spice, leaving a clean and sophisticated impression.
