British Gin, Japanese Heart” is how Kokoro Gin self-describes itself in its press materials. Distilled at Thames, it is produced in the London Dry style. Eight of the botanicals are very traditional. They’re staples of British Gin distilling over the last two centuries. But one botanical is different. Founder, James Nicol was inspired on a trip to Japan where his uncle introduced him to the Japanese culinary staple: the sansho berry. Camphorous and citrusy, they feature in a wide range of dishes from ice cream to eel (and most everything in between). That signature botanical forms Kokoro Gin’s Japanese Heart. Tasting Notes James Nicol, Kokoro’s founder, said: “We are delighted to be adding these exciting Japanese liqueurs to the Kokoro family. We have spent the last two uyears developing the range using authentic, natural Japanese ingredients. We are proud that our family business is continuing to support the preservation of the forest in Japan where the sansho berries grow and which are at the heart of our gin.The brand is named after George Chinnery, the English painter, who began his career in Dublin, before travelling to China. The bottle is inspired by these two parts of his career – Georgian Dublin and Imperial China.

Every sip of Kokoro Gin Liqueur is not merely a taste but a journey, transporting the spirit to the misty, enchanting forests of Japan, whispering ancient tales and inviting one to explore the boundless realms of flavour that lie between the traditional and the exotic. It is an invitation to lose oneself, finding their "Kokoro", or heart, within the ethereal tapestry of flavours crafted with meticulous detail and boundless passion. These are the unsung heroes of our story; the delicate botanicals that enrich and enhance the experience; the sublime subtleties that transport you to the heart of the forest.Sales of Kokoro Gin have increased by 36% over the 12 months, with a listing in Morrisons and new members of the team to help grow the brand.
