Craftsmanship and Ingredients
Suntory Roku Gin is a masterpiece of balance and complexity. Each of the six Japanese botanicals—sakura flower, sakura leaf, yuzu peel, sencha tea, gyokuro tea, and sansho pepper—is harvested in its peak season. These botanicals are meticulously selected to bring a unique flavor profile that enhances the traditional botanicals of juniper, coriander, angelica root, angelica seed, cardamom, cinnamon, bitter orange, and lemon peel. The result is a gin that stands out with its distinct, yet harmonious character.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Experience the delicate fragrance of cherry blossom and the sweet aroma of green tea. This combination offers a floral and inviting nose that sets the stage for the complexity to come.
Palate: The taste of Roku Gin is a journey through layers of flavors. Traditional gin elements provide a familiar base, while Japanese botanicals introduce a unique twist. Yuzu, with its bright citrus note, takes center stage, accompanied by the smooth and silky texture of the gin. The intricate blend of flavors is both complex and balanced, making each sip a delightful exploration.
Finish: The finish of Roku Gin is marked by the crispness of sansho pepper, which adds a subtle spiciness. This peppery note lingers, leaving a refreshing and slightly piquant aftertaste that invites another sip.
Perfect Serve
To enjoy Roku Gin at its best, serve it in a gin and tonic with ice and a garnish of fresh ginger. The ginger enhances the citrusy notes of the yuzu and the spiciness of the sansho pepper, creating a refreshing and invigorating drink. For a more traditional approach, try Roku Gin in a classic martini to appreciate its smooth and balanced character.
