Production notes
Wendigo gin features Quebec sea buckthorn berries. Its name comes from a legend in Amerindian folklore, referring to a forest spirit that possesses men. The spices are macerated for 12 hours before distillation.
Tasting notes
This is a spicy gin, and its complexity is divided between the presence of coriander, iris bergamot, licorice bark, chamomile, rosebud, angelica and cardamom. Juniper is present without being overpowering, and verbena adds a lemony touch.
