Ki No Bi SEI Kyoto Dry Gin (700ml - 54.5%)

KI NO BI SEI, based on a traditional Navy Strength version and bottled at 54.5%, isnt simply KI NO BI at a higher strength. The production method is the same as KI NO BI: 11 botanicals such as yuzu, lemon, sansho pepper, ginger and gyokuro tea, are grouped by flavour into what we call the 6 Elements, which are macerated and distilled seperately, before being blended together with Fushimi water. However, the ratios are different in order to achieve the right balance; the higher concentration gives SEI its power from which the name derives. Strong and powerful at 54.5%, SEI can be used for a range of cocktails, being especially recommended in a Gin & Tonic for which it was awarded an IWSC Outstanding Gold Medal in 2018. The higher strength allows the distinctive taste of KI NO BI's flavour profile to prevail.
