Gin description
Jorgensen’s Gin is a journey through extraoprdinary African aromatic botanicals. South African grown Juniper and peppery Grains of Paradise from Wild West Africa. Spicy juniper, harvested in Paarl from SA's only juniper plantation, are the cornerstone of Jorgensen's Gin. Earth notes come from angelica root, orris root, calamus root, rare african wild ginger, coriander, liquorice root and bitter apricot kernels. Ethereal top notes come from delicate touches of naartjie and Cape lemon peels, buchu, Grains of Paradise, rose geranium and perfumed Ohandua from Kaokoveld. No cucumber. This exception-to-the-rule gin is hand crafted in tiny batches in a copper pot still. The botanicals for each batch are suspended in the still above the purest wine spirit to bathe in its vapours. This gentle bathing gives our gin delicacy and finesse appreciated by almost nobody as we only make small amounts for one-in-a-million individuals.
