Strange Nature – Premium Grape

Strange Nature completely transforms your understanding of what a gin can be. The moment you see the bottle, you are captivated by its stunning design, but it is the liquid inside that truly delivers.

Made from grape spirit extracted from ‘zero-alcohol’ wine, this gin defies traditional expectations, offering a flavor profile akin a wine tasting.

Neat, you are struck by the unique combination of classic juniper with vibrant wine-inspired notes. Bursting with pineapple, grapefruit, and tropical fruit, accompanied by a subtle peppery undertone – its complexity is unmatched – you could easily mistake it for a sophisticated wine at first sniff.

Over ice with soda it opens up like a carafed vino. The gin’s versatility became apparent as I matched it in a dry Martini, and like it’s base it mates well with a selection of cheeses. Not just another gin; it’s a conversation starter, a sensory experience that challenges everything you thought you knew about gin. Strange Nature has created something truly remarkable that will intrigue all.
