Sir Edmond Gin 70cl
This gin has a rebellious spirit with an unusual character and is the world's first which is vanilla infused
Description
Sir Edmond Gin
Named after Edmond Albius, a slave born in Sainte-Suzanne, a commune on the north coast of the French island of Réunion in the early 1800's.
Edmond Albius single handedly changed the future of vanilla, and its cultivation, by finding a way to quickly and profitably pollinate the plants. Something reknowned botanists at the time had failed to do. And all at the age of 12!
This Dutch gin is infused with vanilla pods from Réunion Island, which is the main flavour profile in the gin (along with juniper obviously). It also features angelica root, cardamom, ginger, and cinnamon.
The warm sweetness of the vanilla comes through clearly both in the aroma, and on the palate, while its earthiness is complemented by the juniper and cardamom.
Good to know.... For every bottle sold, Sir Edmond Gin make a contribution to the African Wildlife Foundation. This Kenya based charity dedicates its passion and funds to wildlife conservation and habitat protection, but also to community empowerment and economic development.
Perfect Serve
We love this gin paired with East Imperial Tonic Water. The tonic is not too sweet, and has a hint of cinnamon and manao lime which pair perfectly with the botanicals in the gin.
To create a delicious gin and tonic, take a large copa glass and fill with ice. Pour over 50ml of the gin, and then top up with 150ml of the tonic water. Garnish with a slice of orange and a cinnamon stick

Surprisingly good ginWhen I visited a beach club this week, the flamingo directly caught my eye. The taste of this gin surprised me even more. What a great new G&T discovery!

Inspiring storyThe story behind the gin is what really drew my attention. World’s first Bourbon vanilla infused gin… The slave, Edmond Albius, who discovered vanilla orchids could be artificially pollinated by hand, never got honoured for his invention. This gin brand choose to honour his name, so his legacy lives on. I think of this story every time I sip on my G&T.

Perfect summer & winter drinkI met this gin in a beach club last summer and I'm in love with it ever since. It's literally the perfect summer drink because of its looks but also its taste. At the same time the Bourbon vanilla flavour gives you this cozy feeling during the winter. In short, I'm just a big fan.

Rich and well roundedA rich and creamy nose with lots of vanilla followed by light citrus. On the palate, this is well-rounded and accessible with berries and cream to start, followed by the gradual unfurling of classic gin flavours such as citrus peel, coriander and juniper. The finish is dry with a lingering pepper note.
