CALAMANSI CITRUS GIN

Our third destination in the Backpacker Series is the Philippine island of Bohol; home to tarsier primates, tropical jungles, and white sandy beaches.

Calamansi is a citrus fruit native to the Philippines, bursting with bright zesty notes of lime and mandarin. The exotic citrus of Yuzu and Kaffir Lime add depth of flavour, balanced with the floral sweetness of Jasmine.

Fresh, juicy notes of calamansi come alive with the addition of tonic, whilst aromatic kaffir, vibrant yuzu and subtle floral tones of jasmine combine for a layered, vibrant citrus flavor profile. Unlike any citrus gin you’ve ever tasted!

SIGNATURE BOTANICALS: Calamansi, Yuzu, Kaffir Lime Leaf, Jasmine

TASTING NOTES: Bright zesty notes of calamansi on the fore, developing into soft undertones of juniper, aromatic kaffir, vibrant yuzu and subtle floral tones of jasmine, combining for a layered, fresh citrus flavor profile.

PERFECT SERVE: Classic Indian tonic, garnished with grapefruit peel and a sprig of fresh thyme
