The 31st release of Kiinobi Gin brings two innovations:

1. It is the first in the series to state an aging period of over four years—making it the longest-aged Kiinobi to date.

2. It is also the first to be matured in barrels from Sauternes, France—renowned for their luxurious, sweet dessert wines made from noble rot grapes.

Developed in collaboration with the acclaimed California retailer K & L Wine Merchants, only 300 bottles were released in the US and 361 in Japan—instantly selling out in both markets.

The extended barrel aging gives the gin a deep amber color. On the nose, expect a sweet burst of muscat grape, blackcurrant, and oak, with bold fruit aromas and less prominent juniper. The palate is notably sweet, with layers of citrus, oak tannins, and a subtle grape-skin astringency—almost reminiscent of fine Cognac. The finish features lingering spice notes of sansho pepper, shiso, bamboo leaf, and cardamom.

This edition is named after the Noh mask “Sanko-jō,” traditionally used to represent gruff old men in Japanese theater. The mask originated with master mask-maker Sanko-bō during the Muromachi period.
