Pienaar & Son Orient Gin

Pieenar & Son Orient Gin, the gin produced by a father and son duo, is a wonderful tribute to the oriental spice trade that still shapes South Africa and its cuisine today. Distilled on a base of South African corn, the result is a gin that carries the spices in the heart and on the tongue. How could it be otherwise, the handmade distillery is located in the middle of Bo Kaap, the colourful and fragrant district of Cape Town where you can still see what the Malays once brought to the Cape. In the nose it shows a rich bouquet of spices. Cardamom first, followed by cinnamon, aniseed and juniper. This is joined by a warm scent of orange and tangerine. On the palate it is pleasantly elegant, you can feel the great clear brandy from corn, which perfectly integrates the oriental spices and fruit notes. One is taste-wise in the middle of the spice market of the Bo Kaap, always with the unobtrusive taste of juniper berries in the finish.
