Product description
Boar Distillery is a small family distillery based in the Black Forest in Baden-Württemberg, founded in 1844 by Andreas Kessler and currently operated by his great-great-grandson Markus.
He, along with two friends, Hannes Schmidt and Torsten Boschert, developed the formula for Boar Blackforest Gin. The name of the drink, "Boar from the Black Forest", is a nod to the native inhabitant of the local forests. For years, female boars have been used to search for Black Forest truffles, which are one of the basic ingredients of the formula of the gin presented here. The remaining ingredients are a closely guarded company secret, we only know that they include juniper berries, lemon, lavender and thyme. Since 2017, Boar Blackforest Gin has won over 20 prestigious awards; in 2019, it was named "gin of the year" at the Frankfurt International Trophy competition.
Boar Blackforest is a superbly composed gin, its aromatic bouquet consists of juniper berries, pine cones, lemon peel, lavender and spicy spices. Perfectly balanced palette offers sweet citrus notes, piquancy of herbal spices, pine needles and a touch of lavender. This gin deserves a slow, contemplative sip served with ice or in a classic Martini.
