Juniper and waxy citrus on the nose. Sweet citrus builds - yuzu, mandarin then pine. Slightly dusty, floral notes emerge. On the palate it's thick, sweet, oily then explodes with creamy citrus notes folded with juniper. Remains big, sweet and fresh into the finish. Becomes rich with hints of raspberries and cream with spearmint.

Serve
Ki No Bi Gin has a great, oily juniper beginning, but yuzu quickly steps in to send the gin spiralling, followed by a briny sansho and light tea. It’s perfect in a bone dry Martini – sip it and let the flavours of the world unfurl.
Process
Botanicals in Ki No Bi Gin include juniper, hinoki, yuzu, sansho, kinome, tea and ginger. Six separate recipes are distilled separately, after a full night of maceration in a rice based spirit.
