Sweet Gwendoline Dry French Gin

• Description: Sweet Gwendoline Dry French Gin is a "New World" style gin sourced and distilled in the South of France, near the medieval town of Brive-la-Gaillarde. It features a unique infusion of Figue de Solliès, a prized fig variety from the region, alongside traditional gin botanicals: juniper, angelica seed, coriander, cardamom, sweet orange, lemon, and lime. The gin is finished with a touch of French white wine, added after the final distillation. The spirit base is grape. It is bottled at 40% ABV. The brand's imagery and name are inspired by the fetish artistry of John Willie's "Bizarre" magazine.
