Saffron Gin, Boudier
Origin: France
Alcohol content: 40%

This orange-colored gin gets its extraordinary tint from the addition of real saffron threads.

Da die Wacholdernoten bei der Verkostung in den Hintergrund treten und dem Fenchel die Dominanz überlassen, klassifiziert sich der Gin eher als New Western.
