THE ILLUSIONIST DISTILLER'S EDITION 2021
PROJECT DISTILLER'S EDITION
We have waited with bated breath. We have meticulously planned and dreamed. Now, at last, the moment has arrived! Raise the curtain for the grand debut of the Illusionist Dry Gin "Distiller's Edition" series! A homage to the art of distillation in absolutely limited quantities. With each edition, we unveil a new, sense-awakening composition of distinct botanicals. Every release, naturally, embodies the unforgettable magic of the Illusionist.
This year marked the beginning of a new era of exploring our own craft, of refining our skills and to find new unexpected distillates. We didn't want to limit ourselves to the conventional botanical world for inspiration; instead, we sought new avenues - fables.
THE ILLUSIONIST DISTILLER'S EDITION 2021
THE MYSTERIOUS UNIVERSE
The folklore of our past is brimming with captivating stories of herbal remedies for various ailments and magical properties. This served as our cue to expand the mystical universe of the Illusionist, leading us to discover unexpected botanicals, approached in ways seldom explored before. This year's edition focused around fig, mate, hibiscus and kaffir lime.
OUR HEROES
FEIGE
This exotic fruit, thriving in the sun-drenched regions of the Mediterranean, brings a sweet, honey-like note with it. Its full-bodied aroma, reminiscent of fresh, ripe fruits, fits perfectly into complex flavour profiles and offers a seductive depth.
MATE
This South American treasure, obtained from the green leaves of the mate shrub, imparts a strong, earthy taste with smoky undertones. Its herbal intensity and slightly bitter finish offer a refreshing liveliness.
KAFFIR LIME
The characteristic leaves of this exotic citrus fruit, thriving in the tropical regions of Southeast Asia, exude a sharp, lemony aroma with subtle hints of spices. Its intense, refreshing scent enriches the composition with a lively, exotic note.
