Beefeater, Plymouth and Tanqueray aside, here’s some of the new- fangled gins you can check out here in Singapore.
Bluecoat
An American-style dry gin that’s big on citrus. Wait. American- style? Bluecoat is a smooth gin that’s a little sweeter and more citrusy, unabashedly catering to the American palate. A progressively modern take on a classic style.
Kyrö Napue
It won ‘Best Gin for Gin and Tonic’ a mere year or so after the distillery started. This rye-based gin is a blend of traditionally distilled gin and individually distilled botanicals. A refreshing change of pace thanks to its Nordic ingredients.
DictaDor treasure
Made with sugar cane neutral spirit, this Colombian gin features Colombian botanicals like Limon Mandarino and has also been aged for 35 weeks in casks that used to hold Dictador rums.
KoKoro
This London-style gin is made with Japanese inspiration and sansho berries that had to be painstakingly handpicked and transported fresh from the Afan woods in Japan.
Paper Lantern
Locally designed and produced in Chiang Mai, this is Gin done Asian style – neutral spirit made distilled from Thai rice and infused with Sichuan peppercorns and other familiar Asian botanicals like lemongrass, and finished with a kiss of Thai honey.
