Kyoto Distillery's flagship is a masterwork of precision — eleven botanicals distilled in six categories, blended with Fushimi water. This is gin as high art.

— Japanese precision distilling

9/10

The silky texture with yuzu brightness and green tea umami is extraordinary. Hinoki wood on the nose immediately transports you. At 45.7% it has wonderful body. Kyoto Distillery have created something genuinely special.

— Subtle for the price

7/10

At the premium it commands, I expected more immediate impact. The hinoki cypress and yuzu are lovely, and the green tea umami is unique, but at 45.7% I find the profile quite delicate. The sansho pepper is interesting but restrained. Beautiful craftsmanship, just not my personal style.

— A meditative gin experience

8/10

This isn't a gin you rush. The layers reveal themselves slowly — first the yuzu, then the green tea, then the sansho pepper warmth. The lemon and orris interplay is beautiful. A gin to contemplate.
