The rep noted my curiosity and proceeded to boast that he would make me the best gin and tonic of my life. My interest was piqued but I was also slightly suspicious. Growing up in North Carolina I often heard a Gin will make you sin (turns out it is just the overindulging that does that). This created a subconscious aversion to Gin that took me years to get rid of. Much more than a color, Generous Gin "Purple" is the first gin to contain polyphenols and grape anthocyanins.

Generous Gin was created to be the best Gin for a Gin and Tonic. The rep told me that a Gin & Tonic is a sum of all its parts so use the best tonic water and the freshest ingredients you can find. They also have an organic version for the cool kids.A perfect balance between the aromatic typicity of the different juniper berries, the contribution of other botanicals and the original sensation of structure provided by the anthocyanins. CONCLUSION The delicate blend of Generous Gin imparts a smooth and dry texture combined with the freshness of the pink grapefruit flavour for this seductive gin. TASTING NOTES: COLOUR Powerful Gin made up of the perfumes of pink grapefruit and lemon lime. Tonic notes combining the scents of juniper and freshly crushed pepper. TASTE

Powerful, structured and particularly aromatic; Fresh violet flavors, notes of basil and blood oranges. A final with the rise of orange bitter CONCLUSION These two brands benefit from an excellent market dynamic and perfectly meet the consumer expectations for ‘crafted in France’ premium spirits for Generous Gin and exploration of different origins for Island Signature Rums.” Generous & Tonic – 2 oz of Generous Gin – Tonic Water – 3 leaves of fresh basil ( smash in the palm of your hand to release the essence) – 2 grains of Himalaya salt – Peppercorn (5 or 6) – Ice Powerful, beautiful 'rising' complex with citrus of the Mediterranean basin, violet fragrances and sensitive hints of Basil. La Martiniquaise-Bardinet, who also owns Gibson’s Gin, said the addition of the two brands to its portfolio would be ‘very strategic’ to its on-trade and off-trade goals.

Generous Gin is a French artisan gin that is made in small batches in Cognac. It was created to be the best Gin for a proper Gin & Tonic. This Gin is simple, soft, and perfectly balanced.
