Perfume Trees Gin Navy Strength
Perfume Trees · Perfume Trees Gin Distillery
Perfume Trees' navy strength edition takes the brand's already distinctive East-meets-West botanical profile and dials up the intensity without losing balance. The extra proof reveals layers that the standard strength keeps quieter, particularly the floral and spice elements. A gin that demands attention.
Nose
Juniper leads cleanly, joined by bright yuzu-like citrus, white pepper, and a distinctive floral note reminiscent of osmanthus. Deeper sniffs reveal coriander seed and a subtle sandalwood warmth.
Palate
Powerful and aromatic at navy strength, with bold juniper pine supported by grapefruit pith, ginger heat, and lavender. The higher proof amplifies the botanical interplay without harshness. A lingering angelica root bitterness provides structure.
Finish
Long and warming, with persistent juniper, white flower aromatics, and a dry peppery close. The ginger lingers as gentle heat.

Food Pairing
The gin's floral and citrus intensity pairs beautifully with delicate steamed har gow, where the sweet shrimp filling meets the ginger and pepper heat of the spirit. A dab of chili oil bridges the gap.
Founded in Hong Kong and inspired by the agarwood trees that gave the territory its name — 'Fragrant Harbour' — Perfume Trees Gin blends classic London Dry technique with botanicals sourced across East Asia.

St. George Dry Rye Reposado Gin
St. George Spirits
St. George's barrel-aged rye gin sits at the crossroads of whiskey and gin, using fire twice — once to dry-roast botanicals, once through barrel maturation. The result is a gin with structure and warmth that holds up beautifully in stirred cocktails where a London Dry would feel thin. A bridge bottle for whiskey lovers exploring gin.
Beefeater Burrough's Reserve Oak Rested Gin
Beefeater
Master Distiller Desmond Payne's vision of what happens when the spirit meets the cask is brought to vivid life in Burrough's Reserve Oak Rested. Rested in hand-selected Jean de Lillet oak casks — previously used to age the storied French aperitif — this gin embodies the issue's theme at its most literal: the barrel's inner skin imparts golden color, vanilla richness, and a gentle tannic framework without ever eclipsing the juniper-forward London Dry character. It occupies a fascinating middle ground between gin and aged spirit, rewarding both neat sipping and barrel-aged cocktails.
Bols Genever Barrel Aged 18 Month
Bols
A masterclass in patience applied to the gin family tree. Where most gins celebrate the instant brightness of distillation, Bols Barrel Aged 18 Month embraces the slow alchemy of oak and time. The result is a spirit that bridges the worlds of aged whiskey and botanical distillate — furnace-forged grain spirit tempered into something deeply contemplative. Perfectly aligned with "The Furnace of Patience," this genever proves that even the juniper berry bows to time's authority.
Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla Gin
Tanqueray
Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla takes the classic London dry structure and overlays it with actual Seville orange botanicals, creating a gin that bridges tradition and accessibility. The bitterness of the orange is key — this is not a sweetened citrus gin but a genuine botanical expression. A versatile bottle for cocktails and a solid G&T anchor.
