Ki No Bi "Edition G" represents a structural bridge between traditional London Dry architecture and the ephemeral botanicals of Kyoto. Produced by The Kyoto Distillery—Japan’s first dedicated gin atelier—this expression (Edition G) elevates the foundational juniper presence to provide a more chiseled, higher-proof experience. While preserving the "Six Elements" blending philosophy, Edition G is crafted for those who seek the intensity of a classic dry gin without sacrificing the delicate hinoki and yuzu soul of the base Ki No Bi spirit.

The "Konwa" Distillation Distinction

Unlike the standard London Dry method of co-distillation, Ki No Bi utilizes a complex "Konwa" (blending) process where six distinct botanical categories are distilled individually before being unified.

  • Juniper-Forward Architecture: Edition G modifies the standard ratio to foreground juniper, resulting in a more robust "base" element that holds its integrity against complex mixers.
  • Individual Botanical Control: Categories such as "Tea" (Gyokuro) and "Spice" (Sansho) are distilled separately to capture their volatile oils at the precise moment of peak extraction.
  • Higher Proof Integration: Typically bottled between 100 and 108 proof, this edition provides an oily, concentrated mouthfeel that amplifies the ginger and shiso top notes.
Sensory Profile

Nose: Dominant juniper, yuzu citrus, and hinoki cypress. Developing layers of sansho pepper and gyokuro tea emerge alongside faint ginger and red shiso.

Palate: Medium-to-full bodied and intensely aromatic. A front of bright juniper and yuzu transitions into a mid-palate of spice-driven ginger, pepper, and botanical complexity.

Finish: Long and chiseled. A signature closing of lingering juniper and soft citrus with a persistent, tea-inflected mineral resonance.

The Ki No Bi Vertical

Edition G sits as the "connoisseur's variant" within the vertical. It offers a more chiseled framework than the standard release, acting as the ideal companion for the navy-strength Ki No Bi Sei.

"A structural masterpiece that defines the absolute peak of Japanese craft gin blending."

Since its 2016 debut, The Kyoto Distillery has maintained a strictly controlled production volume, prioritizing the quality of the individual botanical macerations.

Recommended Serving

To honor the profound botanical integration and the concentrated hinoki aromatics, enjoy this gin neat or in a Bone-Dry Martini with a yuzu twist. The higher proof and juniper-forward structure make it the premier choice for a Luxury Gin & Tonic with a sansho pepper garnish. Pairs exceptionally well with sashimi, tempura, or light citrus-based desserts. The spirit's structural integrity allows it to maintain its character even under substantial dilution.
