Description

The McQueen Gin and the Violet Fog Handcrafted Gin is an extraordinary creation from Brazil that delights with a unique combination of 21 hand-picked botanicals. Produced in the picturesque municipality of Jundiaí, this gin combines the traditional art of distillation with exotic ingredients from all over the world. It is distilled in small batches of just 500 litres to ensure the highest quality and an intense aroma.

The name of this gin is inspired by a poem of the same name, which describes a mysterious, misty atmosphere – matching its complex and multi-layered flavour profile. In addition to classic botanicals such as juniper, this gin contains unusual ingredients such as Indian basil leaves, Portuguese rosemary, Mediterranean fennel seeds, South Pacific calamondin, Vietnamese star anise and Brazilian cabbage palm fruit. This exotic combination creates a harmonious balance of herbs, spices, citrus fruits and floral notes, making McQueen and the Violet Fog a truly unique flavour.

McQueen Gin and the Violet Fog is perfect for an aromatic gin & tonic, preferably with a Mediterranean or floral tonic water and a garnish of basil or orange zest. It unfolds its multi-faceted flavour particularly well in cocktails such as a Negroni or a Gin Basil Smash. If you want to savour its complex structure in full intensity, try it neat on ice. Thanks to its exotic notes, it also harmonises perfectly with Asian and Mediterranean dishes.
