A tribute to the botanists from the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew, who sailed the world to bring back new & exotic plants. On the nose, juniper & collection of citrus
- grapefruit, lemon & bergamot, with a hint of spice from the cardamom. On the palate there's warming spice notes from cinnamon, nutmeg & cubeb pepper following the juniper & a lingering hint of szechuan pepper on the tip of the tongue. 15 different botanicals, with an emphasis on blending the citrus notes & spice, it's smooth enough to drink over ice with a grapefruit twist, or to make a gin & tonic full of character.

Ki No Bi (The Beauty of the Seasons) is inspired by tradition & is distilled, blended & bottled in Kyoto. The gin is made in a recognisable dry style but with a distinct Japanese accent.

Ki No Bi Sei, based on a traditional navy strength version & bottled at 54.5%, isnt simply Ki No Bi at a higher strength. The production method is the same as Ki No Bi: 11 botanicals are grouped by flavour into what we call the 6 Elements which are macerated & distilled separately, before being blended together with Fushimi water. However, the ratios are different in order to achieve the right balance; that higher concentration gives SEI its power from which the name derives. Strong & powerful at 54.5%, Sei can be used for a range of cocktails, being especially recommended in a Gin & Tonic for which it was awarded an IWSC Outstanding Gold Medal in 2018. ...

Horii Shichimeien, growing & blending teas for 140 years, created a blend of gyokuro & tencha teas exclusively for The Kyoto Distillery to provide a sweet & creamy flavour. Bottled at 45.1%, Ki No Tea's packaging contains a design from a new hangi, created especially for our gin by Kira Karac. ...
