Puffin Gold

Red fruit leads the profile of Puffin Gold, a 42% ABV Belgian gin. The distillery names strawberry, raspberry and rhubarb alongside lime, lemongrass and pink pepper; juniper provides the gin's classic base. Its official description calls the result fruity and lightly sweet, with a fresh finish. The combination moves from ripe berry and rhubarb toward citrus and spice, giving the gin more range than a single-fruit flavoured bottling.

Citrus · Spicy · Fruity

Seven botanicals shape the blend. Strawberry and raspberry set the fruit direction, while rhubarb adds a sharper edge. Lime and lemongrass lift the blend with fresh citrus and green notes; pink pepper contributes a measured spice, and juniper keeps the profile in gin territory. Puffin describes an unusual freshness and a lightly sweet, fruit-forward character. The result moves from ripe berries to bright citrus, with a mild pepper note at the end. The rhubarb's tartness keeps the berries from turning sweet.

Puffin Gold is made by Puffin Distillery in Kampenhout, Belgium, and sold in a 70 cl bottle at 42% ABV. The white bottle and gold lettering give the Gold name a literal visual counterpart, but the flavour remains the more useful guide: berries and rhubarb first, then lime, lemongrass and pepper. It can be served with tonic or used in a cocktail; a mixer with moderate bitterness helps keep its fruit readable rather than turning the drink sugary.
