Heaven & Hell Dubai Oud Gin is a limited Premium London Dry Gin made in Slovenia by Kiss of Immortality, where oud, rose and warming spices shape a deliberately luxurious aromatic profile. The producer bottles it at 47% ABV and describes a maceration-led recipe with a subtle sweetness around the resinous and floral core.

Rose oil opens the nose, then cinnamon, cardamom and juniper bring depth and dry spice. Oud and frankincense create the darker, resinous register, giving the palate a long, incense-like finish with a soft floral lift rather than a heavy perfume. The palate should be read through the same sequence: juniper gives the structure, while the supporting botanicals provide lift, texture and length. At 47% ABV, the concentration is sufficient for a full glass of ice or a measured stirred serve. The finish is best understood through balance rather than a single dominant note, with the aromatic layers remaining clear after dilution.

The 2026 Gin Guide bronze in Contemporary Gin over 42% reflects a style that looks beyond familiar citrus-led London Dry recipes while keeping a clear juniper thread. That context matters because it explains the recipe without replacing the tasting experience. This is a bottle to approach slowly, first on the nose and then with a small sip, allowing its drier, brighter and more rounded elements to arrive in turn. It suits drinkers looking for a gin with a recognisable point of view and enough detail to reward a simple serve.

Serve 4 cl over ice with 10 cl chilled rose lemonade, a narrow orange peel and one rose petal. The mixer should be cold and lightly sparkling, never syrupy. The garnish is intentionally restrained: it should reveal the recipe, not turn the glass into decoration. Use cold ingredients, clear ice and a gentle stir so the aroma stays focused from the first sip to the final one.
