Roku Minori Select Dry Gin is a luminous and refined special edition that elevates the acclaimed Roku base with delicate Japanese fruit and seasonal depth. Expect a harmonious balance of soft fruit, fragrant herbaceousness and elegant gin structure—ideal for sipping neat or in high-end cocktails.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Crafted by Roku under the house of Suntory Global Spirits in Japan, the Minori edition builds on Roku’s cornerstone of six Japanese botanicals (sakura flower & leaf, yuzu peel, sencha & gyokuro teas, sanshō pepper) by adding fruit-driven elements: Japanese melon, white peach and ume (Japanese plum) to the botanical formula. The result is a limited-edition release emphasising the full breadth of Japan’s seasonal bounty and refined botanical craftsmanship.
Tasting Profile
Nose: Vibrant yet subtle—top notes of juniper and citrus zest segue into fresh Japanese melon and white peach, with soft hints of ume plum and herbal tea leaf beneath.
Palate: Smooth and layered—ripe melon and juicy white peach lead the entry, balanced by tart plum and green tea under-notes. Citrus oils and juniper remain as a backbone, while the traditional botanicals provide context and depth.
Finish: Clean and elegant—the subtle sweetness and fruit recede into gentle sanshō pepper spice, green tea leaf, and a lingering citrus-herb dryness that invites reflection and another sip.
