Bayab Small Batch African Classic Dry Gin / 43% / 0.7l

Bayab is one of a handful of African gins available in Europe, created by bar owner Chris Frederick and marketing expert Damola Timeyin (who met while studying at Leeds University).

Gin is produced at the Midlands Distillery in South Africa, and its formula contains botanicals originating exclusively from the Black Continent. The key position in it is occupied by baobab fruits from Ghana. Baobab, also known as the "tree of life", is an icon of Africa and one of the most unique trees on Earth. It grows in African savannas in over 30 countries, its height reaches 30 m, and its age reaches up to 5 thousand years. The gin formula also lists juniper berries, coriander, rosemary, cinnamon, sea salt, lemon and orange peel. The components are subjected to maceration lasting up to 14 days, and distillation takes place in a copper still. In 2022, Bayab Classic Dry Gin won a gold medal at the World Spirits Competition in San Francisco.

In the aromatic bouquet of gin, in addition to juniper, we discover notes of citrus, gooseberries, sweet bread, nutmeg and liquorice. In taste, juniper, coriander, lemon peel and a light herbal note. We recommend serving with Fentimans Connoisseurs tonic with the addition of a quarter of lime.
