There’s a light spiciness, and that citrus hit we mention isn’t a full-blown punch. If you’ve ever tried a Japanese whisky, you’ll already know that Japanese spirits often have a very harmonious quality. On the nose, the gin is light and floral, with hints of cherry blossom and green tea. On the palate, the gin is full of juniper and citrus notes, with a subtle hint of spice that lingers in the mouth. The balance of botanicals is perfect, with none overpowering the other, creating a well-rounded and complex taste profile.

Our expert panel worked their way through each item in 21 gift sets, looking for smooth, easy-drinking gins with well-balanced botanicals. Additional items were judged on flavour and quality, while also taking into consideration the overall presentation. Roku combines six Japanese botanicals with a range of eight more ‘traditional’ gin botanicals. It has a six-sided bottle, and Roku means six in Japanese. We weren’t familiar with some of the Japanese botanicals at work before trying Roku. It does have quite a citrus hit to it. Those more traditional gin botanicals seemed to dominate at first, but it then got more delicate the more we tried it. Roku means “six” in Japanese which refers to the six local, seasonal botanicals which complement the eight traditional gin botanicals (juniper, coriander seed, angelica root & seed, cardamom, cinnamon, bitter orange, lemon peel). This gives this type of alcohol a distinctly Japanese character. Japanese botanicals are the sakura flower (cherry blossom), sakura leaf, sencha tea, gyokuro tea, sansho pepper and yuzu peel.
