Product Information

Reflecting a broader societal emphasis on harmony with nature, many Japanese gin producers emphasise sustainable practices. The complex and well balanced flavour of Roku is the result of the unique sensitivity captured in the blending of the carefully crafted extracts of the carefully selected botanicals. Let us know if we need instructions for where to find your house or want us to leave your wine in the shed! As opposed to the barley or wheat used in classic gins, Japanese gin may be distilled using rice or corn, which comes from the process of making shochu or whisky.

We also offer bespoke wine packages to businesses in a variety of different sectors – ideal for functions, boardrooms, or corporate gifts.

The selection of botanicals is often a closely guarded secret, with each distillery having its own proprietary blend that delivers a complex, harmonious flavour profile. The General Wine Company sources wines from all over the world, but with a particular focus on small, independent producers.
