Japanese Craft Gin in Gift Box, 43% ABV, 70cl

Roku Suntory Japanese Craft Gin, available in a stylish gift box, is currently on sale exclusively on Amazon for £25.99, down from the previous price of £33. This 70 cl bottle boasts a 43% ABV and is crafted using six distinctive Japanese botanicals, reflecting the changing seasons in Japan. These botanicals include:

• Sakura leaf and Sakura flower (Spring)
• Sencha tea and Gyokuro tea (Summer)
• Sansho pepper (Autumn)
• Yuzu peel (Winter)

Roku Gin features a harmonious blend of traditional gin botanicals such as juniper, orange peel, lemon peel, coriander, and cinnamon. The result is a complex yet balanced flavour profile, with the scent of cherry blossoms and green tea, and a floral-sweet note. The soft and velvety palate is complemented by a light spiciness from Sansho pepper on the finish.

The packaging is equally impressive, with a hexagonal bottle embossed with the six botanicals and a washi paper label. This craftsmanship makes Roku Gin an elegant option for gifting. For optimal enjoyment, it is recommended to serve it neat, over ice, or in a cocktail like a Roku Gin & Tonic garnished with ginger batons.
