What our resident Gin Expert Says:

I love the name of this Gin, it pays homage to the world renowned Professor Franz de la Boë, who the makers claim in 1658 invented the worlds first "medicinal" gin, now that's the sort of chap you would like to have met back in the day. It is

This is a vibrant variation of the award winning original Boë Gin with its 13 hand picked botanicals and spices created using the old-fashioned Carterhead still system – which means the botanical vapours go through the liquid instead of being boiled and is then infused with violets in small batches with the crystal clear water from the glens of ancient Scotland. Sounds perfect.

So there is only one thing left to do and that's to find out if it does Franz proud by actually tasting it. So without further ado I am delighted to say it does. The first sip was sweet and filled with a subtle violet floral base which follows through cleanly with classic citrus notes that makes for a perfect summer tipple in a classic G&T or equally a dynamic and colourful cocktail too.
