Swiss stone pine cones are painstakingly picked by hand in summer on the slopes of the Weisshorn. These pine cones give the Z44 Gin its unmistakable authenticity. The essence of the pine cones is distilled in a small still. This creates the unique Alpine Gin. The Z44 Special Edition Gin is refined with erica extract. Erica also thrives in the alpine mountains and glows pink in the spring. Tasting notes:Color: Clear. Nose: Intense, resinous, spicy, notes of stone pine, erica flowers.
