Roku Noryo Tea Japanese Craft Gin (70cl, 43%)

A limited-edition gin from Suntory's Roku range, centred on the Japanese green teas Sencha and Gyokuro. It is the second release in the Seasonal Festival Collection, devoted to summer and the Noryo tradition of seeking coolness. The teas are among Roku's six Japanese botanicals, and their influence is especially highlighted here, with ingredients chosen at the peak of their season. The label features tea-leaf drawings and green accents on Washi paper, with botanical motifs pressed into the glass. The gin is bottled at 43% ABV in a 70cl bottle. The nose leads with fine grassy Sencha notes, followed by gentle citrus and classic gin notes. The palate unfolds rich Gyokuro with layered tea aromas, fine sweetness and umami balancing lighter floral Sencha notes. The finish brings Yuzu citrus, gentle Sansho spice and classic gin notes, merging with fine tea aromas.
