Your gin-loving dad will surely appreciate Suntory’s latest launch, Sui. This white spirit is given a unique Japanese flair thanks to the addition of three botanicals: yuzu, green tea and ginger. Yuzu lends a refreshing citrus aroma that opens the palate; green tea offers gentle umami notes; and ginger offers a mild spicy flavour. These botanicals have been specially selected to amplify the flavours of the food, making this gin a good accompaniment to your meals. Buy here.
