1836 Belgian Organic Winter Edition Gin

Produced by Distillerie Radermacher, one of Belgium's oldest continuously operating distilleries, 1836 Belgian Organic Winter Edition Gin reflects the house's long-standing focus on traditional distillation paired with organically certified ingredients. The Winter Edition is developed as a seasonal expression designed to evoke familiar winter-time aromatics without excess sweetness.

Its botanical structure combines classic gin foundations, such as juniper, coriander and angelica, with citrus elements including bergamot, lemon zest and orange peel. Winter spices such as cinnamon, vanilla, star anise and cardamom bring warmth and aromatic layering, while tea contributes a lightly tannic, structured finish rather than a pronounced herbal note.

On the nose, the gin presents citrus oils and bergamot brightness, followed by gentle spice progression. The palate displays measured sweetness, built around vanilla softness and cardamom depth, with cinnamon providing roundness instead of dominance. The finish is clean, moderately spiced and persistent, supported by bergamot acidity and the aromatic dryness of tea.

At 37.5% ABV, the profile remains accessible for neat service while retaining enough structure for long drinks. It performs particularly well with a neutral tonic in order to preserve its citrus-spice balance, and can also be used in winter cocktails where a subtle aromatic backbone is preferred over heavier festive profiles. The organic certification underscores the distillery's commitment to traceability and ingredient selection without altering the restrained and elegant character of the blend.
