Kikka Gin

Founded in 1719 behind the Yamato Distillery. There are only three botanicals: Yamato Tachibana, a variety of mandarin that's Japan's first citrus. It was introduced to the country via China some 2000 years ago. Today the trees are actually an endangered species. Yamato Touki, an Angelica-like herb in the Apiaceae family whose leaves were legally classified as medicine until as recently as 2012. In fact, the roots of this plant still are medicine. The Apiaceae family includes celery. Juniper berry, “Tachibana Flower KIKKA GIN Batch 001” was born in September 2018. In April 2019, Batch 2 was completed. Batches two and three were completely sold out.
