Roku Gin

2019 Silver - Gin - San Francisco World Spirits Competition Suntory Roku gin is a premium Japanese gin featuring six botanicals unique to Japan. Roku adds Sakura blossom , yuzu peel , sencha tea , and sansho pepper to a traditional blend of gin botanicals including juniper , coriander seed and angelica root. Roku stays true to the Japanese tradition of meticulous attention to detail by distilling each of their 14 botanicals separately , utlising a distinct distillation process to enhance the unique characteristics of each botanical. Roku means ‘six’ in Japanese and Suntory put their 100+ years of experience to work when choosing the botanicals for this fragrant gin. The delicate notes of cherry blossom are extracted through vacuum distillation in stainless pot stills , whilst the yuzu , an East Asian citrus fruit , is distilled in copper pot stills designed to enhance its flavour. The result is a unique yet recognisable and highly sippable gin. Perfect Serve: Whilst great sipped on
