Kuro Gin, a Japanese-inspired London dry gin, is now available in two limited-edition, fruity, fragrant gin varieties. Both the Soft Peach and Cherry Blossom gin Expressions from Kuro Gin feature the classic Kuro Gin as the base spirit and are enhanced with silver birch bark, spruce needles, bamboo and other flavorful enhancements.
While the signature Kuro Gin was launched just a little over a year ago, a skiing trip to Japan's Hakuba Valley was quick to inspire experimentation with the spirit. As Craig Fell, managing director at Kuro, describes "We want to introduce Kuro to even more UK gin drinkers and this is a fantastic way to do it—replicating the thrill of the slopes, beauty of the alpine surroundings and atmosphere of the apres-ski in an undeniably drinkable gin.”
