At 45% ABV, Lord of Barbes Gin is a French gin shaped by Lord of Barbes. The recipe brings juniper and baobab together with mango, coriander and cardamom in a Paris-rooted gin bottled at 45% ABV. Its character comes through most clearly when dilution is measured and the botanical line is allowed to unfold.

Its documented botanical bill brings together Juniper berries, Baobab, Mango, Coriander, Cardamom, Ginger. Juniper supplies a dry, resinous backbone. The vegetal, spice, citrus or fruit elements named in the recipe add contrast around it and prevent the profile from becoming one-dimensional. At 45% ABV, the gin has the concentration to stay legible as ice begins to melt and the drink opens in the glass.

On the nose, Lord of Barbes Gin establishes its mango and warm spice character in a composed, precise register. The palate is best approached slowly: a firm opening gives way to a more detailed middle, then settles into a clean finish where the botanicals remain distinct rather than crowded. The result has enough definition for a classic highball while retaining the poise needed for a quieter tasting.

For GinToLove, the Perfect Serve is built with precision: fill a large balloon glass with clear ice, pour 4 cl of Lord of Barbes Gin, add 10 cl of Fever-Tree Indian Tonic Water, stir once and finish with Dried mango, Ginger slice. This measured recipe lets the mango and warm spice notes remain defined from the first sip to the finish; taste before adjusting the tonic. Use fresh garnish and sound ice to preserve texture and keep the final balance bright rather than diluted.
