Flavored Gin · 45 % ABV · BE
Nine botanicals make up the winter version of Cin'Kin, and five of them are there to bring the season: orange peel, cinnamon, anise, ginger and cardamom. The other four, juniper, coriander, angelica root and liquorice root, are the classic foundations that keep it a gin. The edition is produced in Ciney, in the province of Namur, in small batchesSmall batchProduction in small quantities per distillation run, often in a small still. The term has no legal definition.Glossary released once a year, with packaging that changes each winter.

The winter five are chosen for warmth rather than sweetness. Orange peel gives a warm citrus top, cinnamon and anise bring the aromatics of traditional winter confectionery, ginger introduces a gentle heat that adds texture rather than aggression, and cardamom deepens the whole with a fresh, slightly camphorous note. Liquorice root reinforces depth and persistence, while angelica and coriander keep the frame dry. The recipe stays close to Cin'Kin's clean distillation profile instead of turning into a spiced liqueur.
The nose opens on warm orange zest, followed by layered cinnamon and anise. The palate is rounded and smooth, balancing spice with a clear citrus foundation, ginger and cardamom building gradually. The finish is soft, mildly sweet in impression and long, leaning towards citrus spice rather than sugar.

The Burma tonic from East Imperial leaves the spice room without covering it. A dehydrated orange wheel repeats the citrus of the recipe, and a cinnamon stick, singed for a few seconds, releases a warm, smoky scent over the drink. Hold the cinnamon in the flame only until it smokes lightly; any longer and it turns bitter. The singed stick also echoes the cinnamon already present in the recipe.
