Ki No Bi KI NO BI Sei Kyoto Dry Gin, 70 cl with Gift Box

KI NO BI SEI, based on a traditional Navy Strength version and bottled at 54.5%, isnt simply KI NO BI at a higher strength. The production method is the same as KI NO BI: 11 botanicals such as yuzu, lemon, sansho pepper, ginger and gyokuro tea, are grouped by flavour into what we call the 6 Elements, which are macerated and distilled seperately, before being blended together with Fushimi water. However, the ratios are different in order to achieve the right balance; the higher concentration gives SEI its power from which the name derives. Strong and powerful at 54.5%, SEI can be used for a range of cocktails, being especially recommended in a Gin & Tonic for which it was awarded an IWSC Outstanding Gold Medal in 2018. The higher strength allows the distinctive taste of KI NO BI's flavour profile to prevail. At first, it is punchy on the palate but retains KI NO BI's trademark purity and harmony in perfect balance. The Kyoto Distillery was built in the first half of 2016: it is Japan's first - and only - dedicated gin distillery. KI NO BI is a small-batch, artisanal gin with a very Japanese heart: it is made with the obsessive attention to detail, care and precision associated with the finest Japanese craftsmanship. We strive for perfection; by adopting the idea of kaizen, our objective is to constantly improve. We spent a lot of time perfecting our KI NO BI recipe, both to ensure absolute harmony between the various botanicals and to make sure that our gin speaks of its home in Kyoto. KI NO BI has a recognisably dry gin flavour but with a Japanese accent: pure, perfectly-balanced with distinctive aromas and a lingering finish of light ginger spice.
