19/04/2023 Spirits

5 unforgettable gins that are bound to surprise

1. The London Gin No. 3

This gin is made in the Netherlands by order of Berry Bross & Rudd, the oldest wine and spirits distributor in London, which is why the number three appears in its name. This is a symbol of the location of this century old shop, at number 3 St. James Street. This gin is dominated by juniper, which appears in harmony with aromatic notes of cardamom and the freshness of lemon peel. A gin that is ideal for making the perfect Martini or gin and tonic. Its success lies in the elegance of its classic and well-kept simplicity, without unnecessary embellishments.

2. Gin Mare

More than a geographical location or a vacation destination, the Mediterranean Sea symbolises a whole lifestyle. Gin Mare was born to reflect this. A pioneering gin where Italian basil, Turkish thyme, Greek rosemary, Spanish arbequina olives and other Mediterranean botanicals come together to create a smooth, aromatic, elegant and perfumed spirit. Gin Mare is a premium gin made in Barcelona that has managed to rank among the best in the world. Undoubtedly a favourite among the world's bartenders. Who doesn’t want to live a Mediterranean lifestyle?

3. Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin 50cl

Monkey 47 is the jewel of Germany! A premium gin made in the Black Forest with 47 different botanicals. Far from being a senseless mixture of aromas and flavours, the great success of Monkey 47 is its ability to integrate its complexity in a balanced and elegant gin where the juniper aroma that is so distinctive of this spirit still predominates. Its quality and sophistication has made it one of the most popular gins among premium gin lovers. 

4. G'Vine Floraison Gin

For all those who love this spirit, there is no such thing as a season to enjoy gin. G'Vine Floraison Gin is perfect all year round, but spring is when it expresses itself in all its splendour. To make it, instead of using grains, they use a spirit from Ugni Blanc grapes grown in the Cognac region of France, enriched with vine flowers and botanicals harvested in spring, as well as juniper berries, cardamom and ginger. A delicious and refreshing premium gin, with a smooth and balanced palate, with herbal, floral and fruity notes that will make your best sensations bloom. 

5. Sipsmith London Dry Gin 70cl

Sipsmith London Dry is a premium craft gin born from the enthusiasm of three friends who joined together with the aim of creating the best gin in the world. They even defied English law because, according to the legislation of 1823, licenses weren’t granted for stills of less than 1,800 litres. In 2008 that changed and Sipsmith London Dry Gin saw the light of day in 2009, thanks to Prudence, the 300-litre still that produces a very limited edition gin that is simple and classic, but with a floral sweetness, a citrus and spicy body and a luscious, silky finish. One of the most avant-garde and interesting gins in the world of spirits, worth trying at least once in a lifetime.

As you can see, there are gins for everyone! Fortunately for those who love this spirit, there are so many, if these five don’t convince you, you can always find a favourite in our selection of gins. Ready to discover them for yourself?
