Dear Gin & Cocktail Lovers,

We're proud to offer Hendrick's Gin at Liquor Burn Gion in Kyoto! This incredible gin, launched in 1999 at a Scottish distillery, was sent into the international spotlight when the Wall Street Journal called it the world's best gin in 2003. It has become a favourite among gin enthusiasts and bartenders mixing up artisan cocktails. This proudly unusual gin is the product of using two different types of stills and infusing with cucumber and rose as well as the standard juniper and others spices. This distillery is proud of its unusual product and history. Their website is a wonderful example of the company's unique spirit.

We have one of the best prices in town on this delicious bottle of craft gin. Please enjoy this wonderful product.

Dear Tequila Lovers,

Today we are spotlighting two delicious tequilas from 1800's Reserva Label: Reposado and Añejo. Like fine whisky these two fine Mexican spirits are distinguished by aging in wooden barrels. The Reposado is aged in American and French oak barrels for at least six months. The Añejo aged in French Oak barrels for at least three years. Here are some tasting notes from the producer:

You may be surprised to learn that Kyoto drinks more tequila than any other city in Japan. While we can not explain this phenomenon we are pleased to offer these wonderful spirits at excellent prices!

​Salud,
Liquor Burn Gion

Dear Whisky, Liqueur, and Umeshu Lovers,

It's the fall season in Kyoto and winter is fast approaching. That means it's the season for enjoying umeshu, also known as Japanese plum wine! Umeshu is a Japanese liqueur made by infusing a spirit with Japanese ume plums. However, Suntory has taken umeshu to a whole new level with this premium product. They have aged this umeshu in toasted oak casks at the Yamazaki distillery - home of the internationally award-winning Yamazaki Single Malt Whisky!
