Roku Gin takes its name from the word 'six' written in Japanese "Roku".

You are like the number of botanicals used in its production: Sakura flower, yuzu peel, Sansho pepper, Sakura leaf, Sencha tea and Gyokuro tea. Six is also the number of sides of the particular hexagonal-shaped bottle, with a rice paper (washi) label, decorated with traditional Japanese calligraphy.

Roku Gin was born from a brilliant idea of Shinjiro Torii, the founder of Suntory. As a lover of his land, the goal was to produce a particular Japanese distillate, produced exclusively with natural ingredients from his country.

The delicate note of the essence of cherry blossom (sakura) is obtained from vacuum distillation in stainless steel stills, while the strong taste of yuzu is obtained from distillation in copper stills.

Gin "Roku" Suntory is completely transparent and clear, the set of aromas that envelop the nose is light, with prevailing floral notes, in which the most classic note of juniper emerges. When tasted it shows a good structure, and a precise sip in which the light spicy note is appreciated.

An excellent refined and fascinating Gin, perfect to be the star of the most exclusive cocktail parties.

Distillation

For the whiskies: distillation takes place both in single malt stills and in grain distillation plants (later used in blends). For Roku: botanicals are distilled separately to preserve aromatic profiles; blending/assembly practices are used for blended ranges such as Hibiki.

Ageing

Suntory whiskies are matured in several types of casks and then blended; some expressions are finished or aged in different cask types to achieve characteristic complexity and aromas.

Raw materials

barley and other cereals botanicals (aromatic ingredients for gin) melon (for Midori)
