Wine for sale: The Kyoto Distillery

The Kyoto Distillery

The Kyoto Distillery was founded in 2014 by Noriko Kakuda Croll, David Croll and Marcin Miller. After two years of research and experiments, they launched their KI NO BI gin in October 2016. Most of the ingredients (Sansho pepper, yuzu, Gyokuro tea, Japanese Cypress, etc.) are sourced locally from the areas surrounding Kyoto and distilled individually in a rice-based spirit. The three acolytes also co-founded Number One Drinks, famous for introducing whisky fans to various now-legendary distilleries such as Karuizawa and Hanyu.
