Production Details:
Distilled in micro-batches using locally sourced botanicals, Mawsim Spice & Herbs celebrates the ingredients that define Southeast Asian cuisine, cardamom, lemongrass, ginger, coriander, and black pepper, blended with juniper and citrus peel. Each botanical is distilled separately to preserve its natural character, then combined with pure spirit and mountain spring water. Unfiltered and crafted with intention, this gin captures the essence of spice in its purest form.

Expert Notes:
Recognized by mixologists for its versatility and depth, this gin redefines spiced profiles with finesse. It’s not about overpowering heat, it’s about balance, where spice meets structure. Bartenders describe it as “the Southeast Asian gin that drinks like a fine whisky”, warming, complex, and endlessly intriguing.

Customer Reviews:
“Feels like a spice market in a glass, warm, inviting, and beautifully balanced.”   Jerome D.
“I use it in a Negroni, and it adds this incredible ginger-cardamom note that’s addictive.”   Aiko S.
“Spicy, smooth, and elegant. I can drink it neat or mix it, and it always stands out.”   Rafael L.

Interesting Fact:
The recipe was inspired by the traditional spice blends used in Cambodian and Thai cooking, with each batch distilled during the “dry season,” when the botanicals are at their most aromatic, a nod to the gin’s name and the mawsim winds that mark each season’s change.

Serving Suggestions:
Serve over ice with tonic and a twist of orange or a sprig of basil to highlight its herbal character. For a bolder experience, mix it into a Spiced Negroni with vermouth and Campari, or use it in a Gin Mule with fresh ginger beer and lime. The warmth of the spices makes it equally enjoyable neat on a cool evening.
