Handmade from a base of neutral grain and malt wine (made with corn, barley and rye) and a mix of 14 botanicals, including juniper, angelica, bitter orange peel, apricot stones, and coriander leaf, as well as some other, secret botanicals. Partly playing with the 'missing link' between gin and genever but from our perspective definitely a gin for it’s flowery and citrusy complexity.
Tasting notes
Clear
Herbatious. Coriander, powerful
Spicy, interesting, citrus notes throughout with a velvety soft texture
Relatively short, coriander ends each sip
Made at the Van Toor Distillery in Vlaardingen, born of the quest of two entrepreneurs to find their ultimate gin. Built upon a malt wine foundation, VL92 Gin has its roots in the Dutch Genever tradition. The malt wine gives it its boldness; its complexity derives from the play between botanical elements that finish with the eccentric, citrusy endnote of a most surprising ingredient: coriander leaf.
