Kyoto Distillery Ki No Tea Dry Gin

Description

KI NO TEA was created in collaboration with tea-grower and blender, Hori-Shichimeien, founded in the Meiji era in 1879. Based in the famous Uji region to the south of Kyoto city, a number of super-premium Uji teas have been specially selected to form the heart of KI NO TEA. Tencha and Gyokuru provide intense aromas and depth of flavor with a wonderful sweetness that occurs naturally in the distillation process. The leaves are harvested in the Okunoyama tea yard, which dates back to the 1300’s, and are blended carefully with a secret botanical recipe used only for this expression. Sweet and delicate on the nose, a hint of white chocolate complements juniper on the palate. The finish lingers long with the flavor of roasted green tea. 45.7% ABV
