-4%Pour this and the first thing that hits you isn't the usual pine-fresh gin slap. It's spice. Warm cardamom, a peppery little kick, this woody, almost incense-y aroma that makes your G&T feel like an actual occasion. Musgrave Premium is the bottle you grab when you want your drink to have a bit of swagger. Slow-made in South Africa, big on African botanicals, smooth enough to sip neat. Tonight just got more interesting.
Nose first: woody and forest-like, with cardamom and African ginger doing the heavy lifting and juniper humming underneath. Then the sip. It's a gentle, peppery warmth, the kind that wakes your tongue up without the harsh bite of black pepper. Grains of paradise bring that exotic spice glow, cloves and a whisper of cinnamon roll through the middle, and a clean juniper-citrus base keeps the whole thing bright and balanced. It finishes long and warm, like a slow exhale. Dry, characterful, properly grown-up.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This one's the work of Simone Musgrave, a South African with a real soft spot for the unusual. She named the gin after her grandfather Maurice, an explorer, and you can taste the wanderlust in the bottle. Eleven rare botanicals, each one nodding to the ancient African Spice Route, slow-built using old-school potstill infusion rather than rushed for volume. Her motto says it all: 'hurry hurry has no blessing.' That patience is exactly why it tastes the way it does.
