SAB'S Gin "Navy" | Alambic Bourguignon

Located in the heart of Beaune, the capital of the Burgundy wine region, SAB'S L'Alambic Bourguignon passionately perpetuates an ancestral distillation expertise. Once present in every village, the local distillers are now rare, but the Alambic Bourguignon proudly maintains this tradition. Transforming grape pomace and wine lees from the prestigious Burgundy terroirs, the estate produces high-quality spirits, including innovative and bold Gins.

The SAB'S Gin "Navy" is crafted from a meticulous maceration of juniper berries and 14 other aromatic plants, including ginger, lemongrass, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay. Unlike classic gins, this Navy Strength Gin undergoes minimal reduction, retaining a high alcohol content of 57%. This strength makes it a perfect ally for cocktails, where even a small amount suffices to express its full aromatic richness.

• Appearance: Transparent and crystalline, with a brilliant shine.
• Nose: Lively and complex, dominated by intense notes of juniper, followed by spicy touches of ginger and lemongrass.
• Palate: Rich and powerful, offering a straightforward and aromatic attack. Juniper is dominant, balanced by fresh and spicy nuances. Lemongrass adds a refreshing touch, while ginger adds a subtle warmth.
• Finish: Long and persistent, marked by spicy and slightly peppery notes, with a subtle hint of citrus in the background.

The SAB'S Gin "Navy" is ideal for mixology, where its aromatic power enhances every creation. In a Gin Tonic, it expresses its full potential with a premium tonic water, a slice of lime, and a fresh lemongrass stalk to intensify its lively aromas.

This gin also pairs well with dishes with bold flavors. For example, it will perfectly accompany a ginger and citrus marinated smoked salmon, where its fresh and spicy notes will enhance the flavors of the fish. For a sweet pairing, it will harmonize with a lemon meringue tart, where the acidity of the lemon and the sweetness of the meringue will marry with its complex aromatic notes.

Pour the gin into a glass filled with ice cubes, add the tonic, then garnish with the lime slice and the lemongrass stalk. Serve well chilled and enjoy.
