Roku Noryo Tea Gin | 700ML

From House of Suntory, Roku Gin Noryo Tea Edition turns up the dial on two of its defining botanicals: Sencha and Gyokuro green teas. Inspired by the Japanese tradition of noryo, the art of cooling down by the river during humid summer evenings, this expression still features a core of six Japanese botanicals, including sakura flower and leaf, yuzu peel, sansho pepper, Sencha, and Gyokuro, but the tea character takes centre stage. Bottled at 43% ABV, it is designed for tall serves and unapologetically refreshing summer drinking.

Roku Noryo Tea Gin | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: A delicate, grassy lift of Sencha tea layered over soft citrus.

Palate: Rich, complex Gyokuro aromas unfold across the palate, with the tea’s signature sweetness and umami beautifully complementing the lighter floral notes of Sencha.

Finish: Yuzu citrus, bright Sansho spice, and traditional gin characteristics slowly build into a harmonious finish with elegant tea aromas.

Distillery Information

The House of Suntory, founded by Shinjiro Torii in 1899 in Osaka, began as a wine import business. In 1907, it launched Akadama Port Wine, which marked its first major product. By 1923, Suntory had established Japan’s first malt whisky distillery, Yamazaki, near Kyoto. During WWII, product development paused, but Suntory re-released Torys Whisky in 1946, which thrived in post-war Japan. In 1963, Kotobukiya was renamed Suntory, inspired by "sun" and Torii’s anglicised name. Suntory notably employed American celebrities like Sammy Davis Jr. for marketing in the 1970s and collaborated with Akira Kurosawa for commercials. Suntory expanded into beer in 1963 with the Musashino Beer Factory and engaged the Carpenters to advertise new soft drinks. Celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2023, Sofia Coppola directed a tribute video featuring Keanu Reeves, blending scenes from her film Lost in Translation with historical footage. Suntory restructured into a stockholding company in 2009, forming Suntory Holdings Limited. After acquiring Beam Inc. in 2014 for $16 billion, it became the world's third-largest spirits maker, later rebranding as Suntory Global Spirits in 2024. The company's portfolio includes premium brands like Yamazaki, Hibiki, Hakushu, Toki, and Chita. It has diversified into craft spirits with products like Haku Vodka and Roku Gin and owns several other international brands such as Jim Beam, Maker’s Mark, Bowmore, and Laphroaig. Suntory is a leader in the bourbon and Japanese whisky markets, remaining a family-controlled entity and significantly contributing to global whisky appreciation.
