GINSTRStuttgartDryGin(500mL)

<p>A bold, earthy Gin from Stuttgart, Germany, that deserves all of accolades and attention it has received. </p><p>Over the last few years, Germany has become a hotspot for the creation of new premium Gins.<em> Alexander Franke</em> was a radio host who interviewed <em>Markus Escher, </em>who grew up in a Winery. The struck up a friendship and shared a love of good Gin. They started playing with the idea of making their own and experimented for two years before launching their brand <em>GINSTR</em> in 2016.</p><p><em>GINSTR Stuttgart Dry Gin</em> is 100% made in Stuttgart and bottled in small batches of <em>711 bottles </em>at a time. Each bottle is individually numbered by hand. And the sheer number of botanical infusions is impressive — there are <em>forty-six</em> of them. That’s far too many to list here, but they include juniper, rosemary, hibiscus blossoms, cardamom, coriander, licorice, Kaffir lime leaves, orange blossoms, pomegranate seeds, and a bunch more. The results are <em>equally impressive.</em></p><p>Markus and Alexander share a photo of them wearing some of the industry awards they’ve received. They were even<em> the first German Gin</em> to win the “GIN 7 TONIC TROPHY” AT THE IWSC. And all we can say that they certainly earned them.</p><p><u>Smartass Corner:</u><em>GINSTR is a play on “Ginster” (as a person who likes Gin) and the three-letter call sign for their hometown airport — Stuttgart STR.</em></p>
