#7 CARDAMOM This might be the biggest mover on the list in the past decade. #8 LICORICE (CHIEFLY ROOTS) Did you know that Licorice, owing to its strong flavor, and slight sweetness, is in Old Tom style gins. #9 CASSIA Cassia is sometimes referred to as cinnamon, especially in the United States. #10 TRUE CINNAMON Cinnamon comes from the Cinnamomum verum tree. It is native to Sri Lanka These top 10 are only the tip of the iceberg… Sorry, Lavender. Maybe next year. The Verdant is floral and soft with a translucent golden- green hue.

Close to the most southern tip of Africa, a powerful part of the world, where the Atlantic and Indian oceans meet. INVERROCHE is aptly named... it means “the confluence of rocks.” These Gins are made with 13-15 different botanicals, some unique to South Africa.Vegetation in the Cape (the smallest, most diverse floral Kingdom in the world) is called Fynbos ... translated as “fine bush”. Made from a Sugar Cane base at 96pf and then diluted with local filtered mountain water to 57% before being distilled in a 900 litre pot still (wood fired)The Gin basket is actually placed lower in the potstill (not in the neck) which allows for some condensation of vapors to infuse longer with the botanicals.The head and tail are discarded and only the heart is kept.

#2 CORIANDER Coriander are the seeds of the Cilantro plant. #3 ANGELICA (PRIMARILY ROOT) Angelica is the third ingredient in the “holy trinity” of gin, which includes coriander and juniper. #4 LEMON Did you know that the lemon is probably a hybrid of a bitter orange and the citron? #5 ORANGE …the world of orange in gin is complicated. #6 ORRIS ROOT

The inclusion of dried Orris Root likely owes a debt to the world of perfumery.
