Pangolin Gin
|
Pangolin Gin was launched in 2020 with a message to protect the Pangolin - the world's most trafficked mammal but one of its least well known. With this mission to raise awareness and support for Pangolin conservation, 10% of profits are donated to Pangolin conservation charities working across Africa and Asia, such as Pangolin Crisis Fund. Taking inspiration from African flavours, Pangolin Gin features African baobab, honeybush and rooibos, and is distilled in a Genio Still at Paper Mill Distillery in Staffordshire. |
Review & Tasting Notes
|
Tasting Notes: Aromatic on the nose with citrus and earthy, woody, vanilla notes of rooibos. Smooth on the palate with sweet nutty notes, juniper, subtle florals and cardamom. A soft, lingering finish with juniper & honeybush pepperiness. Serving & Garnish Suggestions: Gin & Tonic with a garnish of Lemon Peel, Orange Peel or Grapefruit Peel, on in a Negroni or Tom Collins. The Gin Guide Review With prominent African-inspired botanicals, Pangolin Gin is distinctive, exciting and different, which is important in a saturated market. It is aromatic on the nose with citrus and earthy, woody, vanilla notes of rooibos. On the palate it is smooth with sweet nutty notes, juniper, subtle florals and cardamom spice, before moving into a soft, lingering finish of juniper and honeybush pepperiness. With the addition of tonic the African-inspired flavours and citrus notes are elevated further and citrus peels make for an ideal garnish starting point. Between the characterful flavour profile and the Pangolin conservation mission, there's a lot to like. - Paul Jackson, 2020 |
Meet the Maker

"I have always been a lover of wildlife and travel, but it wasn’t until a recent trip to South Africa that I learned about the grave threat to Pangolins. It was a discovery I didn’t feel I could ignore. So, combining my passion for wildlife conservation and love of the spirits industry, the idea for Pangolin Gin was born." - Chris Swanborough, Founder
