Roku Gin 1 Litre

Production:
Roku Gin is a premium Japanese gin crafted by the renowned Suntory Distillery. The name “Roku” means “six” in Japanese, reflecting the six distinct Japanese botanicals used in its production. This gin combines traditional distillation methods with a unique blend of botanicals, including cherry blossom, yuzu, and Japanese green tea, to create a spirit that embodies the elegance and complexity of Japanese craftsmanship.

ABV: 43%

Tasting Notes:
The gin opens with an inviting aroma of delicate cherry blossoms and a hint of citrus from the yuzu. On the palate, it delivers a well-balanced and nuanced flavor, with the classic juniper notes beautifully complemented by the floral and herbal qualities of the Japanese botanicals. Subtle hints of green tea and sansho pepper add depth and complexity, while the finish is smooth and lingering with a touch of spice and a refreshing, clean aftertaste.

Pairing:
Ideal for a refined gin and tonic with a garnish of yuzu or a slice of cucumber, or in cocktails such as a Roku Martini or a Japanese Gin & Tonic. It pairs well with light, flavorful dishes such as sushi, sashimi, and fresh salads, as well as with delicate desserts that feature citrus or floral notes.

Serving Tips:
Serve chilled over ice with premium tonic water and a garnish of yuzu or cucumber for a refreshing and aromatic drink. For cocktails, consider adding a splash of elderflower liqueur or a few fresh herbs to enhance the gin’s unique Japanese botanicals.
