Boudier’s Saffron Gin is an extraordinary gin which gains is marvellous tawny-orange hue with the addition of saffron! Fantastic.

This creates a gin with a distinctive flavour profile that balances warmth and freshness.
Key Characteristics
- Color: The most immediate feature is its striking, natural copper-bright orange or golden color, which results from the post-distillation infusion of saffron threads.
- Flavor Profile: The taste is complex and refined, with prominent notes of juniper and saffron, often complemented by citrus (lemon and orange peel), coriander, angelica, and fennel. The finish is typically soft, lingering, and slightly spicy.
- Aroma: The nose features a blend of juniper, fennel, and a distinct, musky saffron aroma.
- Makers: Notable producers include the French distillery Gabriel Boudier, which uses a 19th-century Indian colonial recipe rediscovered in its archives, and other brands like Indian Summer and Crafter’s.
- Serving Suggestions: Saffron gin is versatile and can be enjoyed in various ways:
- Neat or on the rocks to appreciate its full flavor profile.
- In a classic Gin & Tonic, typically paired with a clean, neutral tonic water and an orange slice to complement the spice and sweetness, rather than traditional lemon or lime, which can overpower the delicate saffron notes.
- In sophisticated cocktails like a Saffron Gin Martini or a French 75.
Saffron gin is prized for its ability to offer a unique, exotic twist on a classic spirit, making it a distinctive addition to cocktail menus and spirit collections.
