Gin de Binche Winter Edition Description

Gin de Binche Winter Edition is a Belgian seasonal gin produced by Plus Oultre Distillery as a cold-weather counterpart to the classic Gin de Binche. The Winter Edition builds on a base of juniper and blood orange, around which a selection of warm spices such as cinnamon, cloves and additional Christmas spices create a profile clearly oriented towards the end-of-year period. The Old Tom style framework gives this gin a softer, less dry impression than a London Dry while preserving a clear gin identity.

On the nose, the gin opens with citrus notes led by blood orange, followed by distinct cinnamon and clove aromas that recall traditional winter preparations. Juniper remains present in the background, providing structure and keeping the aromatic line within the gin category. On the palate, the entry is smooth, with a rounded texture where orange and spice are closely interwoven. A gentle sweetness, characteristic of Old Tom styles, supports the spice register without dominating it, while the clove-cinnamon combination brings length and warmth.

The finish is medium to long, with lingering citrus oils and a persistent spiced impression rather than a heavy sweetness. Served neat or over ice, Gin de Binche Winter Edition reveals its winter spices gradually, making it suitable for slow tasting. In long drinks, a neutral tonic or soda water respects the citrus-spice balance, while a simple garnish such as a strip of orange peel or a small piece of cinnamon stick is sufficient to underline the existing profile. The seasonal and limited character of this edition positions it as a winter variation within the broader Gin de Binche family rather than as a separate, experimental style.

The large ice cube minimizes dilution, preserving the gin's rich flavors. Dehydrated blood orange slices not only add a decorative touch but also intensify the citrus aroma as they rehydrate in the drink.

Instructions

In a chilled highball glass, place a large, clear ice cube to maintain the integrity of the drink without excessive dilution.

Pour 5 cl of Gin de Binche Winter Edition over the ice, allowing its festive blend of cinnamon, cloves, and blood orange to shine.

Gently top with 12 cl of Fentimans Valencian Orange Tonic Water, chosen for its natural citrus notes that harmonize with the gin's spicy and citrus profile.

Stir delicately to combine.

Garnish with a thin slice of dehydrated blood orange, enhancing the visual appeal and subtly reinforcing the gin's signature flavor.

For alternative pairings, consider Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic Water or Schweppes Premium Mixer Original Tonic.

C'est une version plus intense et épicée. On garde la base d'orange sanguine, mais avec des notes de cannelle, de clou de girofle et de cacao. C’est très gourmand, chaleureux et parfait pour les soirées au coin du feu.
