Suntory Roku Gin 70cl

2019 Silver - Gin - San Francisco World Spirits CompetitionSuntory 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 the rocks, Roku Gin makes a phenomenal G&T.
