BOAR GIN

When you see this gin on the shelf of any store, you look carefully at the label, and you think "he paints a boar on a gin label" which ingredient is sure that many people will not guess. Why an unusual ingredient in gin how is the black truffle.

It all starts with two friends Torsten Boschert and Hannes Schmidt who were passionate about gin and wanted to have their own. Later they would be joined by Markus Kessler, who already had experience as a Master distiller in his family business.

Distilled and bottled by hand in the Black Field Boar Distillery, rooted since 1844, in Bad Petersal, southern Germany. Distillation is a very old tradition, since in Germany there are about 1000 distilleries, almost all are family businesses, but very few go back to the beginning of the 19th century.

Handmade and distilled in small batches and with mineral-rich spring water and botanicals wildly cultivated and carefully selected make their composition something very special.

Flavored with juniper and citrus, although herbs such as thyme and lavender are also noted. With a delicate and balanced aroma, which reveals white pepper and a subtle residue of fir resin.

In the end a subtle touch of eucalyptus, along with the juniper and a pinch of pepper. In the background you can distinguish the truffle, from the Black Forest, the star ingredient of this gin.
