Distiller's Background:

Produced in the historic French town of Brive-la-Gaillarde, a community with a legacy of resilience and bravery, Sweet Gwendoline Gin is handcrafted in small batches by a family-owned spirits house. The name and design draw inspiration from the whimsical and adventurous character “Sweet Gwendoline,” a mid-20th-century creation of John Willie that became a symbol of playful storytelling and fantasy. This spirit captures that same charm, blending history, artistry, and quality distillation.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve Sweet Gwendoline Gin as a refined G&T with tonic water, garnished with a lime wheel, pink or black peppercorns, and a sprig of mint for added freshness. It is equally enjoyable as a sipping gin, thanks to its layered complexity, or as the base for contemporary cocktails that highlight its fruit and spice character.

Sweet Gwendoline Gin stands apart as both a work of craftsmanship and a spirited nod to timeless creativity, inviting drinkers to savor its story as much as its flavor.
