KO Blush Gin 750ml

KO Blush Gin 750ml is a fresh, modern Kenyan gin made for drinkers who enjoy a softer, more aromatic style of gin without losing the classic backbone of juniper. Produced under the Kenyan Originals label, this expression is distilled in Kenya and bottled at 40% ABV. It brings together juniper and citrus peel with local Murang’a cucumber and rose blossom from the Nanyuki area in the foothills of Mount Kenya, creating a spirit that feels both contemporary and distinctly local.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Floral rose aromas, fresh cucumber and lifted citrus peel.

Palate: Smooth and fresh, with juniper at the core, followed by soft floral tones, crisp cucumber and gentle spice.

Finish: Clean, fragrant and refreshing, with lingering floral and citrus character.

Accolades

At product level, I could not verify a specific award solely for KO Blush Gin itself from the sources I found. However, the broader African Originals / Kenyan Originals gin portfolio received international recognition in 2024 when the company was recognised as Brand Innovator of the Year at the World Gin Awards for its KO Klub Limited Edition and Mara Gin. That does not confirm an award for KO Blush Gin specifically, but it does indicate wider recognition for innovation within the brand’s gin range.
