Sir Edmond Gin 70cl

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

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 Fever-Tree Indian Tonic Water. Garnish with a slice of orange and a cinnamon stick.

To spice things up a little, mix with Fever-Tree Ginger Ale instead of tonic.

For the cocktail lovers, the vanilla taste is perfect for an Espresso Martini. Add 50ml Sir Edmond Gin, 30ml fresh pressed espresso, 15ml frangelico and 10ml vanilla syrup into a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice, shake well and then double strain into a cooled martini glass and top with 3 coffee beans to garnish.
