Magellan Gin (France)

Magellan Gin opens with vibrant aromas of fresh botanicals delicate iris flower juniper and a hint of citrus zest. The palate is smooth and well-balanced revealing layers of crisp juniper sun-dried herbs soft spice and subtle floral notes with a refined mineral freshness throughout. A clean elegant structure and a long refreshing finish make it a perfect base for classic gin cocktails or a bright simple gin & tonic. The Inspiration: in 1519 five ships led by Ferdinand de Magellan set out to circumnavigate the world and explore the spice islands. Three years later only the ship Vicotria returned to Spain with 18 people and several barrels of cloves. Sadly Magellan who died in battle during the voyage never saw the results of his spice discoveries. Those spices inspired the creation of Gin as we now know it and it is spices inspired the creation of Gin as we now know it and it is to cloves in particular that Magellan Gin owes its unrivaled taste. 1.
