Perfume Trees Gin

Gin description

Nothing tells the story of a place and its culture like a spirit. Every spirit speaks through the botanical characters indigenous to each location. The founders behind Perfume Trees Gin wanted to create a spirit for Hong Kong; a spirit that whispers tales of our uniquely dynamic, vibrant and beautiful city. Thus, out of this inspiration Perfume Trees Gin was born. Five inspired botanicals, from the heritage of Hong Kong, are harmoniously coupled with eight classically recognised gin tones to create the sumptuous and refreshing aromas of Perfume Trees gin. White Champaca Tree is nicknamed “Perfume Tree” for its elegant fragrances, these trees once were found all over the city. Next on the list is Indian sandalwood. If you visit temples in Hong Kong today, they’re filled with the scent of this ingredient. If you walk the streets of Hong Kong in the summer, you’ll see bunches of tangerines drying in the sun. As a common Chinese proverb says, aged tangerine peel is worth its weight in gold. Also known as the ‘dragon well tea’, longjing green tea is fragrant and sweet. A lesser known ingredient that is traditional used in gin is western angelica, used to help fix the collective flavours. We have chosen instead to use Chinese angelica, a distinctive warm, earthy and liquorice has been used providing a longer after taste with a hint of Chinese herbal aroma.
