Ki No Bi
Kyoto Dry Gin
Specification
Bottle — 700 ml
A Kyoto dry gin that leads with juniper but keeps it soft-edged: citrus peel up front, a green tea-like dryness through the middle, then a warm peppery finish. At 45.7% it stays firm in the mouth rather than hot, and holds its shape when water or ice opens it up.
Serve — suggested, not sourced
Tonic — Fever-Tree Light Tonic, 1:2 — a heavy tonic buries the tea-like dryness
Garnish — A wide strip of lemon peel
Martini
gin · dry vermouth · lemon
Stirred cold with dry vermouth, strained, lemon twist.
Why this gin — At 45.7% this Kyoto dry gin carries a stirred Martini without dilution flattening its citrus and tea-dry finish.
