Opihr - Oriental Spiced Gift Set

A Spice Odyssey

Embark on a journey through the ancient Spice Route with Opihr Oriental Spiced Gin.

Launched in 2013 this gin offers a rich tapestry of flavors, setting it apart from its counterparts. Its unique blend of exotic botanicals, including juniper, cubeb berries, black pepper, coriander, cardamom, orange, grapefruit zest, and ginger, captures the essence of the Orient. This gin is not just a drink; it's an adventure in every sip, offering a complex and intriguing flavor profile.

What makes Opihr Oriental Spiced Gin a standout is its ability to transport the drinker to far-off lands. The rich and robust nose teases with intense cardamom and ginger, followed by the warmth of toasted cumin and curry powder. The palate starts with dry coriander and cardamom, transitioning to a juniper heart. Finally, the finish is peppery, featuring black pepper, cubeb, and coriander, leaving a menthol-kissed coolness.

Opihr Oriental Spiced Gin's history is as rich as its flavor. The gin's name, 'Opihr', references the legendary port of King Solomon, renowned for its wealth and prosperity.

It shines in various cocktails, particularly those that can handle its robust spiciness. It pairs well with ingredients like Allspice Dram or Pear Brandies. Classic cocktails may be hit or miss due to its intense flavors, but adventurous bartenders and home drinkers can find joy in experimenting with this gin's unique profile.
