The distillery has had two copper stills made to order by German manufacturer Christian Carl; a 140-litre still with an integrated botanical basket in the helmet and a 450-litre still with a swan neck, side-mounted botanical basket.

Two different-sized hybrid stills give the distilling team the capacity and flexibility to treat each botanical and each recipe individually, allowing the very best flavours and aromas from the carefully selected ingredients to be captured.

KI NO BI Gin from Kyoto Distillery

KI NO BI Kyoto Dry Gin

Inspired by tradition, KI NO BI (‘The Beauty of the Seasons’) is distilled, blended and bottled in Japan's first purpose-built gin distillery in Kyoto. Their 11 carefully-selected botanicals are separated into six different categories or Elements: Base, Citrus, Tea, Herbal, Spice and Fruity & Floral. Each of these 6 Elements is then macerated in rice spirit before being distilled individually and then blended together with pure water from a well in Fushimi.
