Ki No Bai Kyoto Plum and Berry Liqueur (70cl)

A liqueur made from a union of sloe gin and plum and berry liqueur. Instead of sloes, the recipe uses local Japanese ingredients: seasonal Haskap berry from Hokkaido and rare Joshuhaku plum from Kyoto. The blend is sweetened with hokuren sugar, a natural sweetener derived from fruit and vegetables, for a harmonious balance. On the nose it offers blackcurrant and cherry. On the palate it is soft, with almond and plum notes, finishing with a medium-length, beautifully balanced sweet and sour close. It is easy to drink, ideal for cocktails as well as neat or over ice.
