As we approach the later half of the year that can only mean one thing - it's harvest season! Farmers around the world are ready to see the literal fruits of their labour and rejoice for the season that has passed.

Joining in the celebration, Suntory's Roku Gin has released its Minori Select Edition which pays tribute to Japan's seasonal abundance which it has expressed through the careful selection of an assortment of handpicked fruits and botanicals.

With the use of Japanese melon, white peach, ume plum as well as Yuzu and Japanese tea, the new Roku Gin Minori Select Edition is said to be distinctly bright with a hint of fruit that is captured at peak ripeness.

Official Tasting Notes

Aroma: Refreshing juniper and citrus, balanced with sweet melon.

Taste: A multi-faceted blend of succulent melon, vibrant peach, and sweet-sour plum, balanced by citrus and green botanicals. Soft and full texture.

Finish: The rich umami and subtle sweetness of Gyokuro tea and zesty ginger provide a clean finish.
