1836 Organic Gin
Dry Gin · 43 % ABV · BE
1836 Organic Gin was the first certified organic gin made in Belgium, and it comes from one of the country's oldest distilleries. Distillerie Radermacher has worked in Raeren since 1836, the year that gives the range its name, and became the first Belgian house to produce certified organic spirits in 2014. The bottling runs at 43% ABV in a 70cl bottle.

Botanicals
Eleven plants, roots and fruits are infusedInfusionFruit or plants are steeped in the spirit to release their flavour. Done after distillation, infusion often adds colour too, and the gin can no longer be called London Dry.Glossary in an organic grain distillate: juniper berriesJuniperThe one compulsory botanical: gin must taste predominantly of juniper. Its "berry" is really a small conifer cone, resinous and peppery.Glossary, bergamotBergamotA bitter Calabrian citrus, the one that scents Earl Grey tea: floral and zesty.Glossary, lemon peel, orange peel, coriander, angelica root, cardamom, cinnamon, lavender, elderflower and pine. The citrus trio does the lifting, bergamot in particular giving an aromatic, faintly floral edge that ordinary lemon peel cannot. Lavender and elderflower soften the middle, coriander and angelica hold a dry herbal line, and cinnamon and cardamom add warmth without tipping the gin towards a spiced style.
The nose is bright and layered, citrus first and flowers just behind. On the palate juniper arrives cleanly before widening into herbal and earthy notes, then the spices turn up late and gently. Texture is smooth and well integrated, and the finish keeps the citrus and floral signature going for some time. Pine, unusual in a gin list, reinforces the resinousResinousAn aroma reminiscent of pine or fir resin. It is juniper's signature, due to compounds such as pinene.Glossary side of the juniper rather than standing out on its own.
Serve
At 43% the gin has enough body for a proper gin and tonic: 4cl over large iceLarge iceOne large block melts far more slowly than several small cubes, so the drink stays cold without watering down.Glossary, 10cl of neutral tonic, and a strip of lemon or orange zest expressed over the top. It is equally at home in a MartiniDry MartiniGin and a little dry vermouth, stirred over ice and served in a well-chilled stemmed glass, with an olive or a twist.Glossary, where the floral notes come forward, or in a French 75French 75Gin, lemon juice and sugar, topped with champagne. It is named after the French 75 mm field gun of the First World War.Glossary. The same organic range extends to a barrel-agedBarrel-aged ginGin rested for a while in wooden casks. It picks up a golden colour and notes of vanilla, spice or the wine that filled the cask before.GlossarySee Barrel-aged gin gins version matured in Belgian whisky casks, a winter edition and a clementine bottling, which makes it easy to explore the house style further.
