The Saffron Gin stands out with its bright yellow color and a bold yet exceptionally smooth flavor profile. The use of saffron gives the gin a slightly oily texture, resulting in a round, almost aged mouthfeel. This distinctive character makes the gin particularly soft and pleasing on the palate and especially suitable for enjoying neat.
On the nose, fine and elegant saffron notes unfold, adding a refined and unmistakable touch. Subtle floral and gently spicy nuances contribute complexity and depth, while juniper remains present in a balanced and supporting role, providing structure without overpowering the profile.
On the palate, the Saffron Gin is expressive and harmonious. Warm, slightly earthy saffron notes blend with gentle spice and a rich, full-bodied texture. The finish is long, smooth, and rounded, marked by lingering elegance and depth.
Only high-quality Austrian saffron is used in production, sourced primarily from the Burgenland as well as the Weinviertel and Waldviertel regions. This regional origin underscores the premium quality and unique identity of the gin.
