How it is made
Roku Gin is made from a base of grain spirit, which is distilled and then infused with a selection of botanicals. The six Japanese botanicals are combined with traditional gin botanicals like juniper berries, coriander, and angelica root, creating a harmonious blend that highlights the unique flavors of Japan.
History
Roku Gin was launched in 2017 by the Japanese spirits company Suntory. The name 'Roku' means 'six' in Japanese, referring to the six botanicals used in its production. The gin was developed to reflect the Japanese philosophy of 'shun', which emphasizes the importance of using seasonal ingredients and the natural beauty of the country.
In cocktails
Bartenders use Roku Gin in a variety of cocktails, often highlighting its floral and citrus notes. It can be enjoyed in classic gin cocktails like the Gin and Tonic, or in more contemporary drinks that showcase its unique flavor. When serving, a simple garnish of a slice of yuzu or a sprig of rosemary can enhance the drinking experience.
Worth knowing
Roku Gin is the first Japanese gin to be widely recognized and distributed internationally.
