Gin Sul's story doesn't begin in Hamburg, but nearly 3,000 kilometres south, on the wild Costa Vicentina in Portugal, where founder Stephan Garbe found the inspiration for a gin with a southern soul.
Expert's description
Gin Sul Hamburg Dry Gin is a German Dry Gin distilled at Altona Spirit Manufacture in Hamburg and bottled at 43%.
The gin was founded in 2013 by Stephan Garbe, whose longing for Portugal and desire to capture the flavours of the Algarve became the recipe behind Gin Sul.
Botanicals include juniper, coriander seed, Portuguese lemons, rosemary, pepper, lavender, cinnamon and rock rose, a Mediterranean shrub known in Portuguese as "esteva".
Fresh lemons from Portugal are couriered to the distillery each week and hand-peeled, so fresh peel always goes into the current batch.
