Suntory's gin masterwork
Roku at 43% is a London Dry of extraordinary refinement. Suntory bring the same precision and care that makes their whisky world-famous, and the result is a gin that's smooth, balanced, and subtly Japanese in character. The clean finish is impeccable. A masterwork from one of the world's great spirit houses.

Similar to many London Drys
Roku at 43% is marketed as Japanese but classified as London Dry, and the profile sits awkwardly between the two traditions. The juniper is standard and the Japanese botanical influence is subtle to the point of being lost. Decent gin, but it doesn't deliver on the Japanese promise as much as I'd hoped.

Refined and smooth
At 43% Roku is smooth, clean, and well-balanced. The London Dry classification is earned with proper juniper, but the Japanese touch adds something special. Suntory's gin-making skills are impressive.
