Mallard Point’s limited-edition Pinot Noir Gin is made by steeping its signature London Dry Gin on pressed Pinot Noir grapes from this year's vintage. As a result, the gin takes on notes of cherry and raspberry from the grapes and it is said to have "a light floral aroma lingers with an intense spice finish."
At the 2023 edition of the International Wine & Spirit Competition, Mallard Point's Pinot Noir Gin won bronze in the flavored gin category. As such, the flavored gin is worth appreciating on its own but it is also recommended for making a refreshingly different twist on the classic gin and tonic, a negroni or other kinds of cocktails.
Sustainably minded brands are increasingly turning to by-products or surplus ingredients to create new products, reducing waste and minimizing their environmental impact.
