Gin XII Description

Gin XII is a distinguished French gin crafted by Distilleries et Domaines de Provence, located in the heart of Forcalquier. This artisanal spirit is meticulously distilled from a harmonious blend of twelve botanicals, each contributing to its complex and refreshing profile. The selection includes wild juniper berries, coriander seeds, sweet almond, thyme, maniguette seeds, angelica roots, Florence iris roots, cardamom seeds, basil, rosemary, eucalyptus, and mint. These ingredients are carefully macerated and distilled in a copper plate column still, resulting in a gin that embodies the essence of Haute-Provence. The flavor profile is a delightful interplay of citrus zest, floral undertones, herbal freshness, and a subtle spiciness, offering a versatile base for a variety of cocktails or a refined experience when enjoyed neat. Bottled at 42% ABV, Gin XII has garnered acclaim, including a Gold Medal from the Beverage Testing Institute in 2021, underscoring its exceptional quality and craftsmanship.

Singeing the rosemary sprig enhances its aroma, adding depth to the drink. The large ice cube melts slowly, preserving the gin's complex flavors without dilution.

Instructions

In a highball glass, place a large, clear ice cube to maintain the drink's integrity.

Pour 5 cl of Gin XII over the ice, allowing its herbal and floral notes to unfold.

Gently add 15 cl of Fentimans Valencian Orange Tonic Water, chosen for its subtle citrus sweetness that complements the gin's Provençal botanicals.

Stir softly to blend.

Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary, lightly singed to release its aromatic oils, and a thin slice of sweet lemon to echo the gin's citrus elements.

For alternative pairings, consider Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic Water or East Imperial Yuzu Tonic.
