Suntory Roku Japanese Gin: A Journey Through the Four Seasons
Discover the essence of Japan in a single glass. Nestor Liquor, your preferred partner for premium and artisanal spirits, is proud to present Suntory Roku Gin. Created by the legendary House of Suntory, this craft gin is a masterful expression of balance and harmony, capturing the fleeting beauty of Japanese nature.
The name "Roku" translates to "six" in Japanese, representing the six unique Japanese botanicals that define its character. These ingredients are harvested at the peak of their respective seasons—a concept known as Shun—to ensure maximum flavor and freshness.
Spring: Sakura Flower & Sakura Leaf
Summer: Sencha Tea & Gyokuro Tea
Autumn: Sansho Pepper
Winter: Yuzu Peel
These seasonal treasures are distilled individually and then artfully blended with eight traditional gin botanicals (like juniper, coriander, and cinnamon). The result is a complex, multi-layered spirit that is both authentically Japanese and universally appealing.
The bottle itself is a work of art, cast in a hexagonal shape to symbolize the six key botanicals, with a label made of traditional Washi paper.
Bottle Stats:
Botanicals: 6 Japanese (Sakura x2, Tea x2, Yuzu, Sansho) + 8 Traditional
ABV: 43% (86 Proof)
Origin: Osaka, Japan
Bottle Design: Hexagonal w/ Washi Paper Label
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Floral and sweet. An ethereal top note of cherry blossom and green tea greets the nose, grounded by a subtle citrus brightness.
Palate: Silky and complex. A rich mouthfeel delivers a traditional gin base of juniper, quickly giving way to layers of fresh yuzu, vegetal green tea, and a floral sweetness from the sakura.
Finish: Crisp and slightly spicy. The finish is defined by the Japanese Sansho pepper, which leaves a pleasant, numbing tingle and a clean citrus aftertaste.
Serving Suggestion: Suntory recommends the Japanese Gin & Tonic: Pour Roku Gin over ice, top with premium tonic water, and garnish with fresh ginger sticks to complement the yuzu and sakura notes.
