Distiller Notes
To achieve Nolet's Reserve Gin’s complex, unforgettable flavor and dry, long-lasting final impression, Carolus Nolet Sr. handcrafted a recipe highlighting two distinctive botanicals: warm spicy saffron and subtle, delicate verbena.
Verbena lends its delicate citrus flavor and soothing nature to Nolet's Reserve. From the Crocus flower the threads in the calyx are cultivated by hand to be sold as Saffron, the world’s most expensive spice.
Enjoying an enthusiastic resurgence in modern cocktail culture, Gin, a.k.a. ‘Dutch Courage,’ was originally touted as a 16th century cure for cowardice and stomach ailments. Arguably the broadest and most dynamic category of spirits in terms of flavor profiles and production styles, Gin is a distilled grain spirit that derives its primary flavor from juniper berries and secondary flavors from a dazzling array of spices, herbs, fruits and botanicals. It is both produced and enjoyed all around the world and is most commonly mixed into cocktails such as the Martini or simply added to tonic water.
