Suntory Roku Craft Gin 750ml

Discover the art of Japanese craftsmanship with Suntory Roku Craft Gin, an extraordinary spirit that captures the essence of Japan’s rich botanical heritage. Roku, which means “six” in Japanese, is a celebration of six unique Japanese botanicals meticulously harvested and distilled to create an unparalleled gin experience. Each botanical is harvested at the peak of its season to ensure optimal flavor and quality, resulting in a gin that is both complex and harmonious.

From the first sip, Suntory Roku Craft Gin takes you on an exquisite journey through Japan's seasonal calendar. The springtime delicacy of sakura flower and sakura leaf adds a subtle floral sweetness, while the summer freshness of sencha tea and gyokuro tea brings a nuanced green tea profile. The rich, autumnal warmth of sansho pepper provides a touch of spiciness, and the crisp, wintery essence of yuzu peel delivers a citrusy brightness that ties all the flavors together.

Suntory's master distillers use a variety of distillation techniques to ensure that each botanical's unique characteristics are perfectly captured. Traditional copper pot stills are used alongside modern stainless-steel stills, each chosen for their ability to highlight the distinct notes of the botanicals. This meticulous process results in a gin that is exceptionally smooth and balanced, with each botanical note shining through in perfect harmony.

On the nose, Roku Craft Gin greets you with an inviting bouquet of cherry blossoms and green tea, followed by a hint of citrus and a whisper of peppery spice. The palate is a revelation: the floral notes of sakura blend seamlessly with the bitterness of the green tea, underscored by the zesty yuzu and a subtle peppery kick. The finish is clean and crisp, with lingering notes of citrus and spice that leave you yearning for the next sip.

Whether enjoyed in a classic gin and tonic, a sophisticated martini, or an innovative cocktail, Suntory Roku Craft Gin elevates any drinking experience with its refined elegance and depth of flavor. For the perfect serve, pair Roku with premium tonic water and a slice of fresh ginger to enhance its botanical complexity and add a touch of warmth.
