Ki No Bi Gin Gold Label 金之美氈酒

KI NO BI with added Gold Leaf

KI NO BI (‘The Beauty of the Seasons’) is inspired by tradition and is distilled, blended and bottled in Kyoto. Our gin is made in a recognisable dry style but with a distinct Japanese accent.

KI NO BI Kyoto Dry Gin is created with Japanese botanicals such as yellow yuzu from the north of Kyoto Prefecture, hinoki wood chips (Japanese cypress), bamboo, gyokuro tea from the Uji region and green sanshō (Japanese peppercorn) berries.

Bottled at 45.7% ABV, KI NO BI uses a rice spirit base and peerless water sourced in the famous sake–brewing district, Fushimi.

There is a tradition for gold leaf to be added to Japanese sake at times of celebration such as New Year, weddings and festivals.

The gold for KIN BO BI is sourced from a Kyoto-based company, Horikin, founded in 1711. It lifts the product and adds an extra element of occasion and luxury.

The label designs have been created in collaboration with KIRA KARACHO, part of the KARACHO karakami atelier founded in Kyoto in 1624.

季之美入口甘甘甜甜、舒服和諧，因釀酒師採用日本米酒，即Sake做Base，所以特別有日式米香、自然舒服嘅甘甜喺入面。季之美用頂級伏見名水，增加酒體嘅柔和度同細膩口感，達至一種我哋經常崇尚嘅日式和諧感。金之美特別版的構思來自日本人慣常在喜慶節日，在清酒裏加入金箔，以增添豪華感的做法。金之美的金箔，來自京都一間逾300歷史的公司 Horikin。酒標設計則由京都一間於1624年創立的公司Kira Karacho 設計。
