KI NO BI SEI is made according to the same intricate production method as the original KI NO BI. The final blend has been recalibrated to bring out the best of each botanical at the higher strength.
A fresh aroma of yuzu, and a thread of sanshō that lingers like a morning mist in a bamboo forest.
Taste
The higher proof allows the distinctive taste of KI NO BI’s flavour profile to prevail. It’s punchy at first on the palate, while retaining the cleanness and harmony of the original KI NO BI.
Finish
All of the flavours are enhanced while remaining well-balanced.
In contrast with the original KI NO BI, which has a delicate and gentle profile, KI NO BI SEI has a thicker mouthfeel and full-bodied flavour, which works well in cocktails.
This cocktail powerhouse is incredibly well suited to our KI NO BI SEI, with enough juniper flavour to lead the drink, while the Kyoto botanicals meld harmoniously with the vermouth and liqueur to create that perfect negroni.
