Prestige Essences - Gin, Genever |
|
 |
Dutch Genever Dutch Genever is a Dutch spirit with flavours of juniper, coriander, angelica and lavender. The English word Gin comes from the Dutch word for juniper - Genever. In the seventeenth century, Dutch physician Franciscus Sylvius of the University of Leiden in the Netherlands first prescribed distilled spirits infused with juniper oil for stomach and kidney disorders. British soldiers soon brought this tasty "Dutch courage" home with them. Penny-cheap, gin became the favorite drink of the English working classes. Abuse was so rampant that social reformers denounced "Gin madness" as the root of all evil. Dutch Gin (Genever) is often drunk with a beer chaser; the combination is known as a kopstoot ('head butt'). |
 |
Gin Reminiscent of spices, minerals, and dried herbs. Medium light body with a delicate, creamy texture, this strong flavoured yet smooth Gin is one of the great classics. |
 |
Bombay Gin With flavours reminiscent of citrus and spices with a soft, delicate texture, elegance is the key here. The original Bombay Gin is greatly esteemed and extremely popular. It is a refreshing 86 proof Gin, made from a finely balanced mixture of juniper berries and nine other spices and plant extracts. |
 |
Dry Gin Established in the 18th century, the Dry Gin is today the world's best selling Gin. The juniper is predominantly in the nose, but well balanced with fresh coriander notes, fresh citrus and spice backdrop on the palate. |
 |
Lemon Gin A crisp and balanced juniper flavour with hints of coriander and spices, mixed with fresh lemon and hint of other citrus fruits. |
 |
London Gin, Mild Wonderful aromas of juniper right out front and fragrant lavender notes in the back drop. The crisp body shows a complex floral palate with a hint of citrus. Great Martini Gin. |
