Distillerie de Paris Gin
Distillerie de Paris · Distillerie de Paris
Distillerie de Paris produces a gin that feels like an editorial — tightly curated, nothing wasted, every botanical earning its place. This is a city gin in the best sense: refined without being fussy, expressive without being loud. The heat of distillation is used with restraint, capturing brightness rather than extracting heaviness.
Nose
Bright juniper — green and herbaceous — leads the nose, quickly joined by fresh lemon zest and a musky orris root earthiness. Coriander seed adds a warm, slightly citrusy spice, while a delicate violet floralness sits underneath. There is a clean, almost mineral quality to the aroma.
Palate
Silky textured and medium-weight, with pine-forward juniper balanced by lavender and angelica root. The midpalate shifts toward grapefruit pith and a subtle peppery warmth. A whisper of nutmeg adds depth without weight, keeping the profile precise and urban.
Finish
Clean and moderate, with lingering juniper, orris root, and a gentle floral fade. The dryness is impeccable.

Jura 10 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Jura
Jura 10 is an island malt that sidesteps the peat-bomb stereotype entirely. Its restraint is its strength — a whisky shaped by geography rather than process, tasting of the rain and wind that batter its remote island home. Ideal as a gateway to island Scotch.
Noah's Mill Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey
Noah's Mill
Noah's Mill is barrel-proof bourbon without apology. Its intensity rewards patience — a splash of water opens the caramel and softens the leather into something rich and contemplative. A serious sipper for those who want their bourbon to push back.
Crossbill Highland Dry Gin
Crossbill
Crossbill is a gin that refuses to compromise on juniper. Using only Scottish juniper berries and rosehip, it delivers one of the most juniper-forward profiles available — a gin built for G&T purists and Martini devotees who want the pine to sing. It tastes like the Scottish Highlands in a glass.
Rhum Clément Select Barrel Rhum Agricole
Clément
Clément Select Barrel is an excellent entry point into aged agricole rhum. The barrel aging tames the raw grassy intensity without erasing it, creating a spirit that bridges the gap between agricole purists and aged rum lovers. At its price, it's one of the best values in the category.

Tanqueray Lovage London Dry Gin
Tanqueray
Part of Tanqueray's limited-edition heritage series inspired by Charles Tanqueray's original recipes, Lovage brings back a Victorian-era botanical that most modern gins have forgotten. The savory character makes it a natural partner for a proper gin and tonic with a celery garnish, and a genuinely distinctive alternative to the floral gin trend.
Companero Gin by Sacred Spirits
Sacred Spirits
Sacred's vacuum distillation technique preserves the freshest expression of each botanical — no boiling, no heat degradation. The result is a gin of unusual clarity and precision. Each botanical is distinct yet integrated, making it equally suited to a contemplative neat pour or a gin and tonic that reveals new layers with every sip.
Whitley Neill Handcrafted Dry Gin
Whitley Neill
Whitley Neill's core expression is a proper London Dry that respects juniper without being one-dimensional. The interplay between African-sourced botanicals and classic gin architecture makes it versatile behind the bar and genuinely enjoyable neat. Outstanding value at the price point.
