Tasting note
品嚐筆記:這款Ki No Bi SEI呈現乾淨利落的乾型風格,先是杜松子帶出清晰輪廓,接著柚子皮的明亮酸香和綠茶的草本韻味接連上場,尾段有細緻的胡椒暖感與礦物感收乾,口腔感受乾淨但飽滿。 生產者介紹:來自京都的手工釀造品牌,重視季節與產地風味,將京都的在地香材化為瓶中風景。團隊以小批量、細緻挑選聞名,講究每一味材料的來源與處理方式。 釀造/蒸餾方法:採小鍋蒸餾,部分香材以浸泡方式釋放香氣,另有分別蒸餾的工序保留細緻層次。高酒精度令香氣更聚焦,入口有明顯支撐卻不粗糙,整體口感厚實且持久。 田地與香材:香材多來自京都周邊的柑橘園與茶園,配合本地軟水與採收時機,呈現出帶地氣的清新風貌。喝起來不像工業化的辛辣,而是有京都獨有的溫潤與優雅。 飲用建議:可搭配高品質湯力或極冷馬丁尼,能把柚香和綠茶感推到前面;也很適合搭配生魚片、清爽炸物或些微帶酸的料理。敬請即開即飲,不需醒酒。
Tasting note: High‑energy and exquisitely dry, Ki No Bi Sei opens with classic juniper clarity layered over vivid citrus—yuzu and fresh peel—then drifts into green‑tea herb and a mouthwarming peppery lift. The alcohol shows as a lively backbone rather than harshness, carrying a long, clean, mineral-tinged finish. Producer notes: From The Kyoto Distillery, this expression channels the region: a craft-driven project that celebrates local botanicals and water. The distillery is known for meticulous selection of ingredients and a philosophy that interprets Kyoto’s seasonal profile in a modern spirit. Winemaking / distillation notes: Small-batch distillation with careful treatment of each botanical—some are macerated, others distilled separately—to preserve delicate aromatics and allow precise layering. Bottled at a high proof (c.54–54.5% ABV) which accentuates aroma extraction and gives the gin its energetic body and long persistence. Botanical / sourcing notes: Botanicals are sourced around Kyoto, pairing citrus from local orchards, aromatic green tea from nearby plantations, and native peppery spice. The use of soft local water and attention to harvest timing gives the gin a refined, terroir-driven character rather than brute force. Serving suggestion: Best enjoyed in a premium tonic or a sharply chilled martini to appreciate its citrus lift and tea-like depth. No decanting required — sip or mix straight away.
