Kyoto Ki Noh Bi Karuizawa Cask Dry Gin 15th Edition

This gin is extra special as it was matured in ex-Karuizawa and Mizunara casks making it the first collaboration between Japanese whisky and Japanese gin.

KI NOH BI is a cask-aged version of the classic KI NO BI Kyoto Dry Gin. Filled into cask at a high strength, the gin is carefully monitored by our distilling team during the maturation process to ensure the optimum balance between botanical flavours and influence from the wood. The team reviews the final liquid, making minor adjustments using the 6 Elements to maintain the overall harmony. KI NOH BI is bottled after dilution with Fushimi water.

Soft and slightly sweet notes of salted caramel, vanilla and cacao, rippled with dessicated coconut and oaky wood spice on the nose. On the palate, rich oak, spicy dried ginger and candied citrus with a hint of Christmas spices such as clove, nutmeg and cinnamon. Long, oaky finish with hints of eucalypt, cereal and candied ginger.
