Opihr Gin, the world\u2019s fastest-growing premium gin, is highlighting its adventurous spirit with the launch of the Opihr Adventurers\u2019 Edition London Dry Gin, available exclusively to the duty-free & travel retail market.<\/p>\n
Visitors to the Quintessential Brands stand at the 2017 TFWA World Exhibition & Conference last October were the first to see the new Opihr Adventurers\u2019 Edition bottle, which is set to be a hit with intrepid travellers and gin lovers in Travel Retail as they embark on their own adventures around the globe.<\/p>\n
Available to operators in Travel Retail from early 2018 in 70cl and 1L formats, the Opihr Adventurers\u2019 Edition design encapsulates the essence of adventure, discovery and travel, with maritime cues such as a wax-dipped closure and an illustrated map on the back label, evoking the history and heritage of the maritime spice route.<\/p>\n
Created by G& J Distillers\u2019 revered Master Distiller, Joanne Moore, the new expression delivers a more robust taste and is 42.5% ABV in strength, in reference to the midway latitude of the locations from which the botanicals for Opihr Gin are sourced. In keeping with the essence of Opihr, Joanne has combined botanicals that have been sourced from locations along the Maritime Spice Route, but to reflect the more adventurous nature of those who travel the world seeking out new challenges, she has brought the more intense flavours of ginger and woody spice to the fore. The result is a well-rounded, robust gin, combining a rich warm, earthy aroma with spice notes upfront and subtle camphor and citrus notes in the background. The taste is of strong, warm woody spices, but with a smooth, balanced mouthfeel that lingers to give a rich woody spice and pepper finish.<\/p>\n
