Magellan Gin

Gin | France | 44% ABV (88 Proof) | 750mL

Process & Profile

Magellan Gin is a distinctive French gin produced at the Angeac Distillery and inspired by the global spice voyages of the explorer Ferdinand Magellan. Rather than following a strictly juniper-dominant London dry style, Magellan Gin emphasizes a broader botanical profile drawn from spices and aromatics sourced around the world. The base spirit is distilled from wheat and spring water, then redistilled with a carefully selected blend of botanicals. A defining element of Magellan Gin is the use of iris root and iris flower, which naturally impart its signature pale blue hue and contribute soft floral complexity. The result is a gin that balances classic structure with aromatic depth and visual distinction.
