Tasting advice
Taste it pure at first. A small taste to activate the taste buds, then on the second taste, that's when you can start to perceive the different flavours and notes. Then try the gin with a light Indian tonic water (1 part gin to 2 parts tonic).
Tasting notes
Appareance
Perfectly transparent.
Nose
First very fresh citrus, then juniper and salty notes.
Palate
Fresh citrus comes first, followed by classic juniper and brighter, warmer spices like ginger. These aromas give way to more unusual, hard-to-find gin flavours - a fresh, sea-inspired salinity. These complex flavours are balanced by a mellow, buckwheat-inspired mouthfeel.
Finish
The peppery spices enhanced by the Cubèbe pepper continue into a long finish, which lingers in all three dimensions.

Purified water from a well over 180 metres deep, advanced distillation technology and molecular precision allow Giants to create a three-dimensional gin that is second to none. For Giants, gin reveals a duality present in life in general. Some things can be controlled and some things cannot. Gin making is a mixture of art and science, a balance between the rational and the emotional.
