Roku Gin - Select Edition

Gin description

The Roku Select Edition is only available in global travel retail and incorporates six traditional Japanese botanicals that are infused, distilled and blended by Suntory Spirits in Osaka, Japan, along with eight other botanicals traditionally used in gin. The six Japanese botanicals – Sakura flower, Sakura leaf, Yuzu peel, Sencha tea, Gyokuro tea and Sansho pepper – are harvested in accordance with ‘shun’, the tradition of enjoying each ingredient at its best by only harvesting once it has reached its peak flavour potential and perfection. The six Japanese botanicals are distilled using a selection of different pot stills, each chosen to ensure the best flavour is extracted from each botanical. The result is a complex yet harmonious gin with a smooth and silky texture. The special Select Edition features a more prominent top note of Sakura, resulting in a bright and floral flavour profile. Roku Select Edition’s bottle is cast in a hexagonal shape, representing each Japanese botanical, and is finished with delicate embossing. The Japanese kanji symbol for six is printed on the label, which is made of traditional washi paper and finished with subtle touches of gold. The Select Edition bottling, exclusive to global travel retail, also features an embellished label showcasing Sakura flowers to reflect the more prominent Sakura flavour.
