Ki No Tea Kyoto Dry Gin, 70 cl

This release of dry gin from Kyoto Distillery is blended with high-quality teas from the Uji region of Japan. These include Tencha and Gyokuro. The result is an aroma reminiscent of a Japanese tea house and notes of white chocolate, citrus, juniper and green tea. The Kyoto Distillery was established in 2014 by the three founders: Noriko Kakuda Croll, David Croll and Marcin Miller.The company may still be in its infancy, but the founders’ journey to build one of the most innovative distilleries in the world began some 20 years ago. Noriko and David established a whisky importing company in Tokyo in the late 1990s to introduce discerning Japanese whisky enthusiasts to a variety of distinguished single malts from independent Scottish distilleries. In this capacity, they met Marcin Miller, at the time Editor and Publisher of Whisky Magazine. Together they created a Japanese language version of the magazine, and launched whisky tasting event Whisky Live in 2000.White chocolate, citrus, juniper and green tea
