Panda Gin Limited Edition 2020 is a Belgian organic gin released as part of the brand’s annual Colors collection, a series designed to explore distinct aromatic identities through carefully selected botanical combinations. Produced in a limited run of 3,000 bottles, this edition reflects Panda Gin’s philosophy of combining traditional distillation methods with a modern, fruit-forward approach rooted in organic agriculture.

Founded as the first organic gin in Belgium, Panda Gin built its identity on the use of certified organic grain alcohol and a commitment to natural ingredients without added sugar, artificial flavoring or additives. The 2020 edition continues this approach while introducing a complex aromatic palette structured around citrus, floral and fruity elements.

The botanical composition of this edition includes juniper berries, yuzu, Buddha’s hand, lotus flower, lychee, cherry, orange zest, basil, rosemary and star anise. This selection reflects a deliberate balance between freshness and depth. Yuzu and Buddha’s hand provide a distinctive citrus signature, more aromatic and nuanced than traditional lemon or orange profiles. Lychee and cherry introduce a soft fruit dimension, while lotus flower contributes a delicate floral layer. Basil and rosemary bring herbal freshness, and star anise adds a subtle spicy undertone that enhances the overall structure.

On the nose, the gin opens with expressive citrus notes led by yuzu, accompanied by a floral lift from lotus flower and a gentle fruit sweetness from lychee. The aromatic profile is bright but not aggressive, with herbal nuances appearing in the background. On the palate, the attack is fresh and slightly fruity, evolving into a more structured mid palate where citrus and herbs interact. The star anise introduces a light spicy warmth, while the finish remains clean, balanced and moderately persistent.

This gin can be enjoyed neat or over ice, but it is particularly well suited to a gin and tonic where its citrus and floral notes can fully express themselves. A neutral tonic allows the yuzu and Buddha’s hand to stand out, while herbal garnishes such as rosemary can reinforce its aromatic profile. As part of a limited series, this edition also reflects Panda Gin’s ongoing exploration of botanical diversity and sensory balance.
