Roku Gin
Description
Discover Roku Gin, the Japanese artisanal gin created by the prestigious Suntory House, a symbol of excellence and tradition in the art of distillation. Its name, Roku – which means “six” in Japanese – alludes to the six indigenous botanicals that give it its unique character: cherry blossom and leaf, sencha tea, gyokuro tea, sanshō pepper and yuzu.
Each of these ingredients is harvested at its optimal time of year, distilled separately and then assembled with precision to capture the seasonal harmony of Japan. The result is an elegant, balanced and aromatically complex gin that fuses oriental delicacy with the technical purity of modern distillation.
Awarded in prestigious competitions such as the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and the International Wine & Spirit Competition, Roku Gin has established itself as one of the most appreciated premium gins by bartenders and mixology lovers around the world.
Distillery
Made by the House of Suntory, a pioneer in the creation of Japanese whiskies and distillates since 1899, Roku Gin is the result of more than a century of experience and an unwavering dedication to artisanal perfection.
Its production takes place at the Osaka Distillery, where Japanese botanicals are fused with classic ingredients such as juniper, coriander, bitter orange peel, lemon and cinnamon, achieving an exquisite balance between freshness, complexity and finesse.
The hexagonal bottle, Roku’s distinctive symbol, represents its philosophy based on precision, beauty and respect for nature, with engravings that evoke the six Japanese botanicals that inspire its essence.
