Do you have a passion for gin? Something special is in the works! A signature craft gin distilled in small batches for the Karma Group will be launched in May.
We’ve got intel – the signature boutique handcrafted gin will be a beautifully balanced blend of botanicals sourced from the destinations where the group’s resorts, hotels, Chateaux and retreats are located.
In true craft distiller style, Karma Travellers Gin will be made of carefully selected herbs and ingredients including juniper from Tuscany, elderflower and raspberry from England, sage from Bali, black peppercorn, cinnamon and ginger from India, orange peel from France, lemon peel from Greece, lemon myrtle from Australia and lemongrass from Thailand and finally – angelica and angelica Seed from Bavaria in Germany to name a few.
Expect a spicy warm flavour with a touch of citrus and a clean dry finish.
Traditionally, gin is actually made by pot-distilling fermented grain from plants such as barley and infusing this with aromatic compounds extracted from botanicals. Craft gin has experienced a surge over the last few years and is considered one of the healthiest alcohol drinks as it has far less sugar and calories than most other liquors.
We’ll be sharing more in upcoming editions. In the meantime, here’s a selection of gin inspired cocktails from our resorts around the globe…
