My partner is not a fan of G&T, but she enjoyed this when mixed with East Imperial Royal Botanical. It's a very subtle spirit and easy to drink neat. Lovely green tea and other flavors blend well with any tonic. I received a pack of 3 200ml bottles of their various gins, so I'm eager to try the rest. I'd rate this between 4 and 4.25.

About this bottle
KI NO TEA Kyoto Dry Gin, introduced in May 2017 by the Kyoto Distillery, features Tencha and Gyokuro tea leaves among its botanicals to capture the nuanced essence of matcha green tea. This expression was developed in partnership with Horii Shichimeien, a tea purveyor established in 1879 during the Meiji Era.
