The Kyoto Distillery “Ki Noh Bi” Cask-Aged Japanese Gin

Description

KI NOH BI is an ongoing series of cask-aged expressions of The Kyoto Distillery’s classic dry gin, with each edition featuring a different cask or combination of casks that previously held a variety of spirits. The labels, which display masks used in Noh, a form of traditional Japanese theater dating back to the fourteenth century, are a nod to Number One Drinks, a company that specializes in extremely sought-after Japanese whiskies. The gin in this, the seventeenth edition of KI NOH BI, was aged in both mizunara casks and casks from the shuttered and extremely coveted Japanese whisky distillery, Karuizawa.
