Distiller Notes
An extraordinary gin crafted in the hills of Jundiaí, Brazil, McQueen and the Violet Fog is like no gin on Earth. Distilled with 21 botanicals gathered from all over the world – including six “signature” botanicals rarely (if ever) found in gin – it’s a complex, subtle, incredibly smooth spirit. 1000 miles from ordinary, McQueen and the Violet Fog is as unique as its name.

This gin is clear, with a distinctly sweet candied lemon peel fragrance. The soft palate finishes with mild violet jazzed up by white pepper and a hint of coriander. Tailor-made for an Aviation.
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.
