SUNTORY

The first gin released by Suntory, the name "Roku" is Japanese for "Six" which refers to the six Japanese botanicals used. Cherry blossoms, cherry leaves, green tea (sencha), refined green tea (gyokuro), sansho pepper, and yuzu are utilized along with eight other traditional gin botanicals. The LABEL 5 is printed with Japanese washi paper to highlight the meticulous Japanese craftmanship and nostalgia, with the bold calligraphy running across the LABEL 5 emphasizing the sentiment.

This plum liqueur is aged in toasted antique casks that were used to store whisky. Polyphenol absorbed from the casks imparts a pleasantly acerbic note and the matured liqueur has an aroma reminiscent of whisky. This creates a plum liqueur with moderate sweetness that melds a distinctive flavor with well-rounded tones.
