A luxurious wintry riff on a gin sour rich in texture. This one will need lots of shaking to deliver that velvety foam.

This is by far the best gin I have ever tasted! Smooth & vibrant with balanced sweetness and citrus notes. Keep mine in the freezer, fantastic on its own and makes the best G&T with light tonic.

What does Renais Mean?
Renais is short for renaissance, meaning 'rebirth' - and this is our essence. We use botanicals in our gin that are sustainable and upcycled.
What Does Renais Taste Like?
Renais is inspired by the winemaking traditions of Northern France. Ripe grape aromas lead to bright citrus zest on the palate, elegantly balanced by smooth, refined minerality. Expect a unique gin that is as well balanced as it is delicious.

Tastefully imparted with local botanicals, you'll find the acidity from Lemon Peel and Lime Slice, the Salinity of Rock Salt, Minerality of Kimmeridgian Stone, Florality of Linden Flower and the Sweetness of Acacia Honey and Grand Cru Grape. These are harmoniously balanced with traditional gin botanicals such as Cubeb Berries, Angelica Root and of course, Juniper Berries.
