Roku Japanese Gin
Japanese Gin | 43% ABV | 750mL
Process & Profile
Roku Japanese Gin is crafted in Japan by Suntory and built around the concept of shun, which emphasizes using ingredients at the peak of their seasonal freshness. The gin incorporates six Japanese botanicals that reflect Japan’s natural landscape and culinary heritage: sakura flower, sakura leaf, yuzu peel, sencha tea, gyokuro tea, and sansho pepper. These are combined with traditional gin botanicals such as juniper, coriander, and citrus peel. Each botanical is distilled separately using different still types to capture its optimal character before being blended into the final spirit. The result is a balanced, layered gin that highlights harmony, precision, and subtle complexity.

Worst e-commerce service I have ever experienced
I paid quite a bit of money to have this order shipped instead of just going to the liquor store. The Barrell Tap didn’t ship it for over a week. It wasn’t until I wrote to them that they shipped the order. They refused to do anything to make it right (like even a partial refund). Not only that, but their delivery vendor knocked so quietly on my door that I didn’t hear the delivery attempt. He left a note saying he would attempt redelivery the next day, but he did not. So now I have to go in person to pick up a liquor order that I could have just originally gone to the store in person to buy at half the price. I will never use The Barrel Tap again.
