Distiller Notes
Orbium is the first Quininated Spirit. It is a reinterpretation of the rounded house style of the original Hendrick’s Gin. With three additional extracts of quinine, wormwood and lotus blossom, it complements our beloved cucumber and rose essences.
On the nose, lush sweetness of lotus blossom that fades to reveal an elegant juniper character with suggestions of deep fruit and floral softness. Dry sweetness balances on the palate with subtle lemon zest and a hint of spice. Deep woody quinine bitterness that dissolves to leave an unexpected but familiar floral glow.
Enjoying an enthusiastic resurgence in modern cocktail culture, Gin, a.k.a. ‘Dutch Courage,’ was originally touted as a 16th century cure for cowardice and stomach ailments. Arguably the broadest and most dynamic category of spirits in terms of flavor profiles and production styles, Gin is a distilled grain spirit that derives its primary flavor from juniper berries and secondary flavors from a dazzling array of spices, herbs, fruits and botanicals. It is both produced and enjoyed all around the world and is most commonly mixed into cocktails such as the Martini or simply added to tonic water.
