The classic Opihr London Dry Gin – Opihr Spices of the Orient is made with hand-picked botanicals that include spicy cubeb berries from Indonesia, cardamom and Tellicherry black pepper from India and coriander from Moroco. These make for a great intense and exotic spiced gin. Rich and robust aromas of citrus, cumin and cardamom with a hint of grapefruit. The palate is laid on a soft bed with a little sweetness that is then matched with the Oriental spice that lingers and tantalises.

The European Edition – Aromatic Bitters has the unmistakeable taste of the classic Opihr Spiced gin and has been balanced with butter cascarilla bark and fragrant myrrh to create a unique aromatic flavour. This has a bold savour aroma that is balanced with burnt orange and finished off with round citrus and earthy notes. The flavour on the palate is smooth, classic London Dry Gin but has a smoky wood notes which comes to a clean finish.

The Arabian Edition – Black Lemon brings the classic Opihr and elevates it even further by marrying it with citrus fruit and spices with powerful bursts of Persian black lemons. The Arabian Edition brings notes from a juniper core that is balanced with Black Lemons and Timut peppers. The palate shows the rounded London Dry Gin as the backbone but gives way to a light sweetness, creating the perfect marriage of citrus and spice.

Finally the Far East Edition – Szechuan Pepper enhances the classic Opihr Gin with the warming characters of Szechuan pepper and smoky notes for a true Far East experience. The aromas are so incredibly rich with spice that if you close your eyes it feels like you are walking through market with lots of spice traders.
