“A NATURAL GENEROSITY”
All the ingredients coming into the composition of GENEROUS are natural:
Juniper, Citrus, Mandarin, Red Pepper, Jasmin & Elder Flower.
Some of them are produced by maceration, others by distillation, using exclusively traditional methods.
This naturality can be clearly perceived in the tasting: the style is clear, the flavours are precised and well harmonised.
TASTING NOTES:
COLOUR
Light and shiny texture.
NOSE
Fine and floral. Dominant base of juniper, softened by the white flowers (elderflower, jasmine).
TASTE
A beautiful aromatic explosion of citrus fruits and spices highlighting the freshness of the juniper, with sweet floral notes and traces of jasmine.
CONCLUSION
A good length in the mouth, enriched by the persistent notes of red pepper, citrus fruits and juniper.
It all started with a dream. A distiller’s dream. The dream of creating a spirit which would resemble a tree of life, creating the best flavor match that nature can offer in one single spirit. It was the idea of playing with aromas like playing the keys of a pipe organ. Or the vision of an extraordinary garden, a garden of Eden.
The idea behind Generous Gin was to create a totally original, but simple product , easy to drink and appreciate. A Gin which could give the best Gin & Tonic. It was to use the best of what French tradition can offer: great natural ingredients, combined with a high precision of distillation in small pot-stills.
The result is a bit like a perfume, or a great wine: a very well balanced, elegant and surprisingly smooth and aromatic gin. The special touch, the generosity of the gin, comes from the perfect match between different flavours.
Kate –
I was lucky enough to sample this at the Good Food and Wine show in 2017. A beautiful gin and a beautiful bottle.
