Men kun de mest trænede øjne kan få øje på de unikke kalahari-trøfler, som gemmer sig under ørkenens hårde, tørre sandjord. Derfor får CRUXLAND GIN hjælp fra indfødte folk fra Kalahari-ørkenen til at indsamle de værdifulde trøfler.

Another spirit that blends gin with a cuppa, though this time Southwold’s Adnams are using matcha tea from Japan. Det første du vil blive mødt med, er den store smag af enebær, der i den grad formår at varme i munden. Når denne varme har lagt sig åbner sig en sandt krydderunivers, hvor særligt kardemomme, anis og hvad jeg tror er trøflen kommer igennem. Hvis du er til krydret gin – så Cruxland for dig.Smag: En fyldig og kompleks smag mødes os – og det er svært at udskille de enkelte botanicals. Men udover enebær kan vi smage roiboss, kardemomme og strejf af anis. Og så er der trøflerne.. De giver en blød, rig umamiagtig tone til den fyldige krop. Leveres i en 1 liters flaske, som i sig selv er et lille kunstværk. Derudover i en tilhørende gaveæske. Fornem gave til én som vil forkæles med noget som ligger langt fra en ”standard-gin”. We’d be very interested to see what the Kalahari truffle distillate tastes like separately, or even mixed into a more traditional base. It is, after-all, the namesake botanical: the Crux Constellation is an alternative name for the Southern Cross, and as ‘X’ marks the spot when truffle hunting, it ties in neatly. To make Cruxland Gin, du Toit and the team produce a neutral wine spirit. This spirit is then placed into the 500-litre pot still alongside a makeshift teabag containing the majority of the botanicals. The Kalahari truffle is distilled separately, and doesn’t meet the rest of the botanicals until long after the run, where the two distillates are blended along with additional grape neutral spirit and cut down with water to 43% ABV. Cruxland Gin to taste… Presented by the popular resource for drinks professionals, The Drinks Report, the globe’s best tasting and best designed gins were announced at the Honourable Artillery Company in London during the Gin Magazine Awards Dinner. Preceding Cruxland’s announcement as overall winner for the World’s Best London Dry Gin, the brand scored a category win during the awards’ first-round results in 2020, 2019 and 2018 (press release). How we met

If the weight exceeds 25kg's there will be an excess delivery charge. We will notify you first before any excess charge is applied. Eftersmag: Ret krydret og varm med noter af sort peber, enebær og roiboos- men de bløde og rige noter af trøfler runder den lækkert af. Den fungerer bedst med en ikke for kraftig tonic, og vi kan derfor anbefale Folkington’s Indian Tonic Light. Sometime during the day, I lost sight of Tim for a minute, and I scanned the sea of people to catch sight of him. There he stood, in the middle of the crowd, cradling a taster glass to his chest, his eyes closed and a slight smile on his lips. I instantly knew that he has fallen deeply and irrevocably in love. His love interest? A shot of gin. And not just any gin, I might add. That was the start of our adventure with Cruxland.Fast forward a few years, and it’s still our top gin in The Little House. Always welcomed on a lazy weekend or after a long day’s work, we often drink it without the frills or fancies. Now… Kalahari truffles are – according to all sources – a rich, earthy addition. While their inclusion is a real point of interest, in our opinion their presence isn’t that well felt. Instead it’s those crazy fynbos ingredients that shout out, along with the grape base and aniseed, resulting in a crisp, bushy green gin that very much errs on the side of a “New Western”. With tonic, the juniper takes on an almost chalky, bitter demeanour (helped along by the rooibos), while the coriander and lemon work together to take the flavour in a decidedly acerbic direction. A Cruxland Gin G&T is complex and intriguing, it dries the mouth just as soon as flooding it, yoyo-ing between bitter and sweet and everything in-between. It’s an exciting drink, but one that is a decidedly modern take on the gin genre. And by ‘decidedly modern’ we mean it will very possibly be a polarising choice to serve and one we’d recommend you try before you buy. The beach, the jungle, the mountains. Cities or rivers or grasslands. Wherever your next journey might take you, let KWV Cruxland Gin frame your adventure with a glass filled with memories.
