Suntory Roku Gin Review
Can’t afford Suntory’s Japanese whiskies? Their well-priced gin will more than satisfy. The name means “six” to reflect the sextet of native botanicals (sakura flower, sakura leaf, yuzu peel, sencha tea, gyokuro tea, and sanshō pepper) in the hexagonal bottle. Extremely citrusy from the yuzu, this would be stellar in a highball or dry Martini with a citrus twist.
