Roku combines 8 traditional gin botanicals with 6 unique Japanese botanicals selected and grown in four seasons: Sakura blossoms, Sakura leaves, Yuzu peel, Sencha tea, Gyokuro tea and Sansho pepper. Each botanical is harvested according to the Japanese concept of shun, keeping each ingredient at its best, only harvested once they have reached their best flavor. A multiple distillation process brings out the best of each botanist: cherry blossoms and green tea impart a floral and sweet aroma, while the palate has a complex, multi-layered flavor for a harmonious taste.
