McQueen and the Violet Fog Handcrafted Gin

McQueen and the Violet Fog Handcrafted Gin

__

Dig deeper. McQueen did. A single copper pot still in the hills of Jundiaí, Brazil. Twenty-one different botanicals, including six seldom found in gin: basil, rosemary, fennel seed, calamansi, star anise and açai. Other gins are simple. McQueen flipped the script.

With risk comes reward. Pour, swirl, close your eyes, inhale. This contains multitudes: an orchard, a forest, an apothecary. Made by maceration and vapor infusion, each small batch is a labor of love.

PAUCA SED BONA. Literally: Few but Good. Quality is greater than quantity. Each batch is distilled and bottled by hand. The McQueen distillery doesn’t make much, but what they make is damn good.

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.
