Marnus and Rossouw grew up exploring the land together on neighbouring citrus farms outside Hoedspruit, 20kms from the Kruger National Park in South Africa’s lush Limpopo province. As third generation citrus farmers, their families have been perfecting the art of growing grapefruit, oranges and lemons for decades. Surrounded by this juicy, vibrant bounty, they took some of the lemons they’d harvested and did something completely unexpected: they decided to make gin. In this way, Primos Gin is all about roots. It’s about the gnarled roots of our lemon trees bringing forth fruit. It’s about the roots of our families intertwining to build strength. Most of all, it’s about binding all these roots together to produce a gin that’s utterly original and completely delicious.
Primos Gin, produced by Craftlink Distillery in South Africa, is a testament to the art of craft gin making. Garnering acclaim with a Gold Medal and 96 points at the 2020 USA Spirits Ratings, Primos Gin stands out for its focus on quality, flavor, and the natural beauty of its South African origins. The Crisp Citron Gin, a double distilled craft gin, embodies the distillery's farm-to-bottle philosophy, highlighting the pure essence of spicy juniper and fresh citrus zest against the backdrop of the Blyde waters and Drakensberg mountains.
Nose:
The aroma is an inviting blend of juniper and lemon peel, which is then followed by a more intricate and floral bouquet. This combination sets the stage for a refreshing and vibrant gin experience.
Palate:
On the palate, Crisp Citron Gin presents a harmonious mix of lime and grapefruit, with the zestiness of citrus flavors taking center stage. The distinct flavors of grapefruit and lemon linger, offering a crisp and refreshing taste.
Finish:
The finish is characterized by a dry lemon note, leaving a clean and refreshing aftertaste that invites further sipping. This dryness complements the gin's overall zesty and citrus-forward profile.
