On the nose it has a green, woody and refreshingly crisp , just like a sunny Japanese morning out on the pistes. Aromatic Japanese botanicals balanced against a classic, complex, London Dry base. Bamboo & Silver Birch bring a hay-like earthiness with Spruce Needles building an intriguing alpine freshness. ### Product Description A Japanese-inspired London dry gin innovatively crafted in the UK using botanicals from the Land of the Rising Sun , think silver birch bark, spruce needles and bamboo-activated charcoal. \'KURO\' translates from Japanese as \'black\', and it is this charcoal element that gives the gin its name. The whole thing was conjured up on a skiing trip to Japan , the pair behind the concept hope the earthy, aromatic spirit evokes the Hakuba Valley\'s alpine slopes. Tasting Notes Lovely Alpine freshness
