KI NO BI (The Beauty of the Seasons) is inspired by tradition and distilled, blended and bottled in Kyoto. We collaborate with the craftsmen and artisans of Kyoto who refine their skills in the legacy of the generations before them, working continuously in the cultural heart of Japan. Japans first dedicated gin distillery was founded with the sole intention of creating the finest gin possible: made from rice spirit and, wherever possible, using locally sourced botanicals, including yuzu, gyokuro tea and sansho pepper. The Founders are inspired by Kyoto culture, art, craftmanship and agriculture.

The Shin Blended Whisky is crafted by Mr. Ken Usami, the master blender of Shinobu Distillery who selected finest malt whiskies and finished them in casks made of Japanese Oak, Mizunara Wood. “Shin” stands for “Integrity”, one of the core principles of Samurai tradition.The blended expression contains 50% malt and 50% grain. The result is a unique fusion of flavours and dynamic explosion in palate yet so smooth and easy to drink. Subtle chocolate and hazelnuts teamed with soft citrus notes. All natural with no colouring.Elegant balance of smooth malt and harmonious mix of sweet spices. With a hint of vanilla, caramel, and delicate fruity flavour note. The palate displays subtle sweetness, with toasted bread flavour and hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. Woody aftertaste with oriental sandalwood aroma on the finish.

Botanicals including double the amount of Yuzu normally used are macerated for 7 days prior to being distilled to extract as much flavour and oils from the botanicals.

"A dense harmony created through the weaving together of pure whiskeys of variousages. The gentle union of flavors and a mellowness found only in a pure malt whiskey. Delicate yetcomplex aromas and flavors open up, dancing smoothly in the mouth. Nose: Nutty, with hints ofgreen apple and fresh herbs. Richly rounded with only a slight smokiness. Palate: A crisp alcoholicpresence, solid, yet delicate and smooth in the mouth. Finish: Refreshing and clean aftertaste witha long finish. Vanilla notes give way to understated woody flavors that linger in the mouth."
