Flower Power! Suntory Drops A New Japanese Gin
For the first time ever, Suntory’s latest craft gin SUI 翆 (kingfisher in Japanese) lands on our sunny shores. Hailing from the same distillery that gave us Hermes Gin in 1936 and Roku Gin in 2017, the aromatic and intense blend is produced with a cavalcade of exquisite botanicals – think juniper berry, coriander seed, angelica root, cardamom, cinnamon, bitter orange peel and lemon peel. Its burst of Japanese flavour comes courtesy of yuzu, green tea and ginger.
Suntory Osaka’s SUI 翆 will be available for purchase islandwide at major retailers such as Cold Storage, Giant, Don Don Donki, Meidiya, SPC, Pandamart, Wines and Spirits, Thirsty Donkey, iShopchangi, Shopee and more.
