Tasting note

品飲筆記：先是明亮的柑橘皮香，緊接著一片草本花香與野生香草的層次。入喉時出人意料地帶有圓潤、近似奶油感的中段口感，伴隨微微樟香與香脂感，尾韻有清爽胡椒辛辣，優雅收尾。酒莊與製作：季の美出自京都的小型蒸餾坊，擅長把地區性香材與京都的潔淨水源揉合入酒，強調小批量、手感與平衡，而非甜化或長年熟成。釀造工藝：以中性基酒浸漬當地香材，再以銅鍋蒸餾溫和萃取，保留易揮發的香氣分子，讓柑橘與草本能夠清晰呈現但不互相搶味。田地與香材：柑橘、茶香和山野草本多來自京都周邊小農的採收，受益於當地涼爽氣候與乾淨河流，香材新鮮度高。品飲建議：不需醒酒，冰鎮或大冰塊呈現最佳風貌；適合製作講究層次的琴湯尼、風格清爽的Martini，或簡單加皮檸檬享受原味。

Tasting Note: Bright, precise citrus zest leads, supported by a meadow of fragrant and wild herbs. On the palate Ki No Bi shows an unexpectedly creamy, almost silky mid‑palate with balsamic undertones and a peppery, elegant finish. Producer Notes: Crafted by The Kyoto Distillery with a clear mission to celebrate local Japanese botanicals and pristine water. The spirit is a small‑batch, unoaked dry gin emphasising balance and finesse rather than heavy sweetness. Winemaking / Distillation Notes: Maceration of carefully selected botanicals followed by careful distillation in copper stills produces a clean, layered spirit. The distilling team focuses on gentle extraction to preserve volatile aromatics—resulting in lively citrus and herb notes with a rounded texture. Vineyard / Botanical Sourcing Notes: Botanicals are sourced from Kyoto and nearby regions — citrus peels, aromatic herbs and mountain botanicals that reflect the area's cool climate and clean waterways. Serve & Enjoy: No decanting needed; best served chilled or over a large ice cube to open aromatics. Excellent as the base for a refined gin & tonic, a citrus Martini, or neat with a twist of yuzu or lemon.
