Gin Dank

Gin Dank is a contemporary gin created by the French Booze Project, conceived as a bridge between craft distillation and the aromatic universe of American IPA beers. The name refers to the term "dank", widely used in the brewing world to describe intense, resinous and green aromas commonly associated with certain hop varieties.

At its core, Gin Dank is built on a classic juniper backbone, ensuring a clear gin identity. Carefully selected hops are then introduced to express their distinctive aromatic profile, bringing herbal freshness, citrus zest and subtle tropical fruit nuances. These hop-derived aromas are balanced with the spiciness of Java long pepper, which adds warmth and depth without overwhelming the vegetal character of the spirit.

On the nose, the gin opens with fresh herbal notes, hints of citrus peel and a recognisable green, resinous impression reminiscent of dry-hopped beers. The palate is lively and expressive, combining gentle bitterness from the hops with fruity and citrus accents, followed by a restrained peppery lift. The finish is relatively short and clean, marked by earthy and herbal tones that invite another sip.

Gin Dank is designed for modern gin enthusiasts and craft beer lovers alike. It works particularly well in a gin and tonic with a neutral tonic, or in simple cocktails where its hop-driven profile can remain clearly perceptible.
