McQueen and the Violet Fog Handcrafted Gin is an exceptional creation from Brazil that delights with a unique combination of 21 hand-picked botanicals. Produced in the picturesque town of Jundiaí, this gin combines traditional distilling techniques with exotic ingredients from around the world. It is distilled in small batches of just 500 litres to ensure the highest quality and an intense aroma.

The name of this gin is inspired by a poem of the same name, which describes a mysterious, mist-shrouded atmosphere – perfectly matching its complex and multi-layered flavour profile. Alongside classic botanicals such as juniper, this gin contains unusual ingredients such as Indian basil leaves, Portuguese rosemary, Mediterranean fennel seeds, South Pacific calamondin, Vietnamese star anise and Brazilian cabbage palm fruits. This exotic combination creates a harmonious balance of herbs, spices, citrus fruits and floral notes, making McQueen and the Violet Fog a truly unique gin.

Tasting Note

Colour: Crystal-clear.

Nose: Herb-driven with intense notes of basil and rosemary, complemented by spicy star anise and delicate citrus notes.

Palate: Complex and well-balanced, with spicy herbs, juniper, fennel seeds, exotic citrus freshness and a subtle sweetness.

Finish: Long and elegant, with warm spice and a light, floral note.

McQueen and the Violet Fog Gin is ideal for an aromatic gin and tonic, best served with a Mediterranean or floral tonic water and garnished with basil or an orange zest. It really comes into its own in cocktails such as a Negroni or a Gin Basil Smash. If you want to enjoy its complex structure to the full, try it neat over ice. Thanks to its exotic notes, it also pairs superbly with Asian and Mediterranean dishes.
