Silent Pool

United Kingdom

A group of friends with one common passion decided to produce an artisan gin. The location eventually became the English estate Albury in Surrey Hills, right next to the Silent Pool; a beautiful, mysterious lake. The Gin is distilled in small quantities in a copper boiler heated by locally harvested wood. Silent Pool contains no less than 24 carefully selected botanicals, including kaffir lime, chamomile, local honey and lavender. This gives a subtly sweet but complex palette of flavours.

Sharish - Blue Magic Gin

The Netherlands

Sharish Blue Magic Gin comes all the way from Portugal. Interestingly, this is made with a range of botanicals grown by the distillers themselves, like lemon peel, juniper, raspberry and ginger. The bright blue color comes from a flower known as blue pea. Furthermore, if you mix Sharish Blue Magic Gin with tonic, it turns pink? Very cool!

Suntory - Roku

Japan

Suntory is a Japanese company that has a long gin history. Their first gin was released in 1936, while their latest and maybe most impressive is Roku Gin. A modest amount of six Japanese botanicals are used to give Roku Gin its signature flavors. They bring the consumer on a journey of the four seasons: Sakura flower, Sakura leaf, Yuzu peel, Sencha tea (green tea), Gyokuro tea (refined green tea) and Sanshō pepper. Each botanical is harvested at the peak of its season to extract the best flavor.
