Magellan Iris Flavored Gin

Magellan Iris Flavored Gin

• Description: Magellan Iris Flavored Gin is a distinctive French gin named after the explorer Ferdinand Magellan, inspired by the spices discovered during his voyages. It is handcrafted in small batches at the Angeac Distillery in France using 100% Capet wheat grain and naturally filtered water from the Gensac spring in the Cognac region. This gin is distilled four times, with the final distillation involving vapor infusion of 11 sun-dried botanicals: juniper berries, cloves, cinnamon, cassia, orange peel, coriander, licorice, grains of paradise, cardamom, nutmeg, and notably, iris root and flower. The iris gives the gin its subtle, natural blue hue and contributes to its unique flavor profile. It is bottled at 44% ABV (88 proof).   

• Awards and Ratings: Magellan Iris Flavored Gin has received recognition for its unique character and quality:

  • Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
  • Rated 89 points by Wine Enthusiast.
  • Rated 88 points by Drinkhacker.

• Tasting Notes:

  • Aroma: The nose offers a complex bouquet with strong spicy notes, particularly cloves and cardamom, alongside the foundational juniper. Subtle floral hints from the iris and a touch of citrus can also be detected.
  • Palate: The palate presents a smooth and balanced flavor profile. Juniper is present but not overpowering, complemented by warm spices like cloves, coriander, nutmeg, and a hint of orange zest. The iris contributes a subtle floral undertone that distinguishes this gin.   
  • Finish: The finish is long and elegant, with a lingering warmth from the spices and a refined smoothness. Some detect a bittersweet quality with a final hint of floral and peppery notes.

• Summary: Magellan Iris Flavored Gin is a French gin celebrated for its unique flavor profile, where traditional gin botanicals are enhanced by the distinct floral notes of iris root and flower, along with a prominent spiciness, particularly cloves. Its smooth character and subtle blue hue make it a visually appealing and flavorful choice for classic gin cocktails, especially those that can be complemented by its floral and spicy notes. While some reviews note a strong floral character, others appreciate its balanced complexity.
