KI NO BI Japanese Gin Cocktail Flight at @fitzgeralds_dc A Cherry Blossom celebration of artisanal Japanese Gins. The Kyoto Distillery is the first in Japan to be solely dedicated to making artisanal Gin. KI NO BI Gin is made using 11 botanicals sourced in its majority from the Kyoto Prefecture were the distillery is located. Another unique regional ingredient only available in Kyoto is found in its underground water source. Fushimi Spring water is renowned for its purity, softness, and mellow flavor. KI NO BI and KI NO BI TEA, the first two gins in the flight, were both elegantly smooth with classic juniper and citrus aromatics and flavors. The flagship KI NO BI is slightly fresher in its aromatics and more Yuzu forward in the palate. KI NO BI TEA delivers the similar freshness and citrusy quality, adding a layer of savory-fruity sweetness to its flavor profile. The third glass on the flight, KI NO BI Edition G, a rare and delicious treat. Edition G was aged in oak barriques sourced from the Argonne forests in Northeastern France near the Belgium border. The barrels had been previously used to mature Henri Giraud quality Champagnes in Marne, Champagne. Only 1,700 bottles of KI NO BI Edition G gin were produced to be distributed in 20 markets worldwide. A truly unique sensorial experience.

京都蒸留所が製造する「季の美 京都ドライジン」。 国内の米を原料とした最高級ライススピリッツをジン製造のベース原酒(RBS=Rice-based Spirits)として使用。京都産を主とする11種類のボタニカルは味わいと香り別に６つのエレメントに分け個別蒸溜。最高の状態で蒸留したボタニカルと京都伏見の酒蔵の伏流水でブレンドすることにより、季の美の芳醇な味わいが生まれている。 この日訪れた「季の美House」はメンバーサロンも併設。オリジナルカクテル、ビスポークジンメイキングやセミナーなど、多角的に「季の美」の世界観を楽しむことができる。京都だからこそ生まれた唯一無二の味わいが楽しめる。 Ki no Mi Kyoto Dry Gin is produced by the Kyoto Distillery, established in 2014. The finest rice spirits from Japan are used as the base spirit (RBS) for gin production. Eleven different botanicals, mostly from Kyoto, are individually distilled into six elements according to taste and aroma. The botanicals are distilled at their best and blended with water from a sake brewery in Fushimi, Kyoto, to create the mellow taste of Ki no Mi. Ki no Mi House, where we visited on this day, also has a members' salon. You can enjoy original cocktails, bispoke gin making, seminars, etc. and enjoy the world of "Ki no Mi" from various angles.

Every once in a while you get to go to an event where the star isn’t just the product that is being launched, but the entire event is just as memorable as well. So it was with the recent Ki No Bi event I went for af Sushi Taka, St Regis Kl, where we got to try the Ki No Bi G Edition gin, and enjoyed a most delicious, sumptious, delectable omakase sushi meal paired with Ki No Bi gin cocktails. Ki No Bi’s @marcysakuma was there to talk us through the Ki No Bi gins - the highlight of which was the G Edition, which is aged in ex-Henry Giraud champagne casks. What a gin it is too. Fragrant, floral, fruity and bright, it has a nose you could sniff all night long. But at one point you need to taste the gin to and wow. On the palate, that effervescent bright floral note strikes you up front, with more balanced juniper, white wine, floral notes coming mid-palate, finishing with a lovely streak of bright fruit notes and lingering juniper. I live the fact that unlike many aged gins, the cask doesn’t completely overpower the base Ki No Bi notes, allowing for a more balanced spirit that you can just sip on its own all night long. Oh, and the dinner was fabulous as well. The uni sushi was perfect, the sweet shrimp was creamy and decadent, the Drunk Crab was so sweet and succulent, the Firefly Squid Smoke was superb… you get the point. The combo of great gin and great food really made this one of the more memorable events of 2033 so far.
