Unique Botanicals........

~ From the back label: "Crafted by Japanise artisans, ROKU is a multi-layered, perfectly balanced gin combining both traditional and 6 uniquely Japanese botanicals."

I found this label to be quite correct in its description! In all honestly, when taste-tested against my usual standard Tanqueray gin, it was similar to a point - and then the Japanese botanical seemed to show up about mid-palate and really shine - unique, indeed! And VERY good! Well balanced and very pleasurable!

Those "Unique" botanicals to ROKU Gin: Sakura flower, Yuzu pod, Senda tea, Sansho pepper, Sakura leaf, and Gyokuro tea.

Love some gin and tonic. Have tried multiple types of gin, never tried this one. I even lived in Japan 8 years. Gave me a reason to stop at Wines and More, (liquor store that carries about everything you could possibly want) thx
