It takes a rare synergy to disrupt a crowded category, but The Gardener Gin is no ordinary spirit. It represents a meeting of three masters: the viticultural royalty of the Famille Perrin (Château de Beaucastel), the creative vision of Brad Pitt, and the technical wizardry of Tom Nichol. Nichol, a living legend who received the Gin Guild’s Lifetime Achievement Award for his work at Tanqueray, came out of retirement for this specific project. His goal was not to make just another gin, but to craft the ultimate London Dry he had always dreamed of—one that captures the "art de vivre" of the French Riviera.
While we have hosted The Gardener before, this tasting invites you to look past the celebrity names and focus on the unprecedented technique in the bottle. Think of this as an organic "Grand Cru" of the spirit world. Unlike the vast majority of gins that rely solely on dried botanicals, Nichol utilizes fresh citruses harvested from the Cap d’Antibes. The spirit rests on a classic canvas of juniper, licorice, and angelica, but it is the top notes that stun the palate. By blending fresh pink grapefruit, bright lemon, and the "yin and yang" of sweet and bitter oranges, the result is a spirit of startling clarity and elegance.
In the depths of a New York winter, The Gardener offers a sensory transport to the sun-drenched coast of Provence. It is a melding of lush greens and brilliant golds that proves purity of flavor is the ultimate luxury.
Stop by the tasting table this week to experience how fresh citrus and forty years of distilling mastery can change your perception of a London Dry.
