KI NO BI
Kyoto Distillery has the incredible distinction of being Japan’s first dedicated artisanal gin distillery. Founded in 2015 by David Croll and Marcin Miller, the facility is situated in Minami-Ku, in southern Kyoto City, nearby the famed Fushimi region, known for centuries for its production of nihon-shu (Japanese sake). Ki No Bi was launched in 2016…
Ki No Bi which translates to “The Beauty of the Seasons,” is made using locally sourced ingredients and incredibly meticulous craftsmanship. The production process is overseen by Masami Onishi, a former Chief Blender, and Suntory, and Head Distiller Alex Davies, a former distiller at Chase and Cotswold distilleries.
