About FAIR - Juniper Gin (500 ml)

Country of origin:   France                                 Alcohol by Volume (ABV): 42%                                 Bottle size: 500ml     

The botanicals used in FAIR Juniper Gin are sourced in the Cognac region of France and across Central Asia through local organic co-ops.

The juniper berries are sourced from a nature reserve in Uzbekistan, Central Asia. Agriculture is the chief source of income for the mainly rural population, but many farmers live below the poverty line. Fairtrade spices, as the juniper berries, cardamom and coriander, are sourced in the Varganza village, in the region of Samarkand. The Dustkul Bogi cooperative has three main objectives: to increase production, develop the social environment and develop organic production.

After sourcing, everything is shipped to the famous region of Cognac in France, to be distilled. First, they macerate high quality juniper berries and spices  (coriander, cardamom, angelica roots and grains of paradise) for one week. The ingredients are micro-distilled in a one shot process in a Stupfler still (a type of alambic copper still), before being bottled in the Cognac region. 

The gin tastes soft and delicate on the palate moving to a fresh and strong juniper flavour with an exquisite balance of fragrant spices.

Tasting Notes:

• Colour: Crystal clear
• Nose: Juniper led fresh, leafy nose with fragrant coriander and cardamom, peppery grains of paradise and citrusy aromas
• Palate: Clear and led by juniper and coriander with zesty citrus and mild spice
• Finish: Rich old-fashioned liquorice becomes evident and coats the tongue to the end of the finish

Serving suggestions:

• Enjoy in a classic G&T or in a cucumber gimlet - however you love your FAIR Gin - you know the world is that little bit better for each sip you take. 
• Garnish with a lemon peel twist, and perhaps a sprig of rosemary.
