Just as South Africa has come to expect that alcoholic beverages come from the Cape we decided to buck that trend and set up ‘shop’ on the outskirts of Bedfordview where we can remain hands on through our proximity to home and work. Our name: (Gin)ologist derives from the Greek word meaning to ‘speak’ knowledgeably on a subject or topic. In other words – an expert. This essentially encapsulates all we stand for and strive for: to be experts on Gin and through that expertise to bring joy to others. From the very start, we developed and continue to develop our gins on scientific, replicable methodology through our, all glass distillation straight-out of a lab set-up, and this scientific process has enabled our flavour profiles that are unmatched in terms of intensity and quality. In our distillation process we recognise the differences between the botanicals we use and distil them accordingly. Without giving away any of our secrets, our process is designed to treat every single part of the recipe with the respect it deserves to unlock the best possible aromas and flavours, hence the different ways our production is treated. Suffice it to say that we utilise number of different processes often only seen in the biggest of international distilleries in order to achieve a superior end result. Our philosophy that gin and the gin drinking experience can be as simple or as complex as one chooses has defined our drive to develop gins of unquestionable quality and character which in turn drives our relentless pursuit of customer satisfaction. It took months to develop our formulas and after 15 test batches we created something unique and worthy of the Ginologist Seal of quality. Our scientific background gave us the knowledge to do rapid product development. Our final thought is that we source for quality and freshness and give local suppliers preference where possible. In the final analysis if we take pride in the passion and belief that every single person associated with Ginologist has for the Brand and the company.
The Ginologist Strawberry Summer Cup is crafted to encapsulate the essence of summer with its bright and juicy strawberry profile. It opens with a nose that's prominently filled with fresh strawberry aromas, supported by subtle earthy undertones that enrich the fruity bouquet. On the palate, the experience is overwhelmingly sweet and filled with vibrant strawberry flavours that burst forth, delivering a refreshingly juicy taste. Subtle notes of juniper are present throughout, providing a rounded, full-bodied flavour that enhances the berry's brightness. The drink is designed to be exceptionally smooth, making it perfect for sipping on a warm day or enjoying as a base in mixed beverages.
Nose:
The aroma is distinctly dominated by fresh strawberries, offering a vibrant and inviting bouquet. Earthy undertones subtly complement the berries, adding depth and complexity to the overall scent, creating an aromatic profile that is both enticing and reminiscent of a ripe summer garden.
Palate:
On the palate, this drink bursts with the sweet and juicy flavours of strawberries. The taste is delightfully sweet, mirroring the freshness of real strawberries with an intensity that persists throughout the sip. Juniper notes provide a gentle background, enhancing the fruitiness without overpowering the strawberry essence.
Finish:
The finish is smooth and lingering, with the sweet strawberry flavours slowly fading and leaving a satisfyingly fresh aftertaste. This makes the Strawberry Summer Cup an ideal choice for prolonged enjoyment, especially on warm, sunny days.
