Roku Gin is inspired by Shun—the Japanese philosophy of embracing the peak moments of each season, reflected in nature, life, and human experiences. In Japan, the changing seasons are honoured through vibrant festivals, and the Roku Seasonal Festival Collection pays tribute to four of these celebrations. Each edition introduces a
... unique expression of Roku Gin tailored to a specific season.
The debut release, the Sakura Bloom Edition, draws from Hanami—Japan’s iconic springtime festival dedicated to cherry blossom viewing. Celebrating one of Roku’s signature botanicals, Sakura, this edition captures the essence of spring with a soft, floral sweetness and subtle notes of saltiness from the blossom leaves. The result is a beautifully layered gin that harmonizes botanical complexity with natural sweetness, offering a refined and delicate taste experience.
Tasting Notes:
* Nose: Bright and refreshing, evoking the crisp air of early spring. Delicate floral aromas of cherry blossom conjure the serenity of a Japanese garden during Hanami.
* Palate: Smooth and elegant, with a gentle sweetness reminiscent of Sakura-mochi—the traditional seasonal treat. Balanced with fruity cherry blossom notes and a nostalgic touch of saltiness.
