Eight botanicals are used when distilling this handcrafted gin - ClemenGold and orange peel, cinnamon, ground almond, juniper berries, angelica and orris root, and coriander are macerated and vapour-infused.
ClemenGold, South Africa’s premium mandarin, is a wonderfully sweet and aromatic (and easy to peel & virtually seedless) soft citrus fruit that is sun-ripened and handpicked by selected mandarin growers from across the world. In South Africa, where ClemenGold Gin originates, it is grown in Mpumalanga, Limpopo, the Southern and Western Cape.
That's an abbreviation of parts of the official blurb, my take is very nice. The mix of citrus orange with East Imperial tonic really is lovely. Not the cheapest here at nearly $50USD for 500ml but lovely drop.

@ContemplativeFox Definitely worth a try!
Sounds interesting and tasty. Not sure I'll be getting a bottle at those Monkey47 prices, but I'll order a pour if I ever see it.
