High in Germany’s volcanic Eifel region, where mineral rich soil nurtures exceptional potatoes, Windspiel Gin was born from a love of tradition, precision, and natural beauty. Named after the loyal greyhound breed favored by King Frederick the Great, Windspiel is both a tribute to noble roots and a modern ode to craftsmanship. The Reserve edition takes things even further, elevating botanical elegance into something luxuriously smooth and quietly powerful.

Windspiel Reserve Premium Dry Gin 50cl
Brand: Windspiel | Category: Premium Aged Dry Gin | ABV: 49.3% | Origin: Germany | Vol: 50cl

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Elegant and complex, like walking into an herb garden after rain, with delicate notes of juniper, vanilla oak, and soft lemon peel.
Palate: Silky and warm, expect hints of baking spice, caramelized citrus, and rounded florals, all wrapped in a subtle oaky richness from barrel aging.
Finish: Long, dry, and refined, with a lingering sweetness that fades like the last note of a jazz tune.

Production Details:
Distilled using hand-picked botanicals and a base spirit from Eifel potatoes, this gin is aged in ash wood barrels, a rare and deliberate choice that softens and deepens its character. Each batch is small and carefully watched, ensuring the barrel influence enhances without overpowering.

Perfect For:
Made for slow sipping, this isn’t your casual gin & tonic. Enjoy it after dinner in a crystal glass, or pour it neat while unwinding with classical music and candlelight. It’s a gin that feels more like a conversation than a cocktail.

Expert Notes:
A favorite among connoisseurs for its rare aging technique, Windspiel Reserve is often described as the “whisky-lover’s gin”, complex, rich, and ideal for contemplative sipping. Its high ABV gives it weight without harshness.

Customer Reviews:
"Smooth, rich, and unexpectedly warm, this gin is something else."
"Never thought I’d sip gin neat, but this changed my mind."
"Feels like a luxury dram, soft, spicy, and incredibly refined."

Interesting Fact:
Windspiel’s base spirit is made from locally grown potatoes, the same variety cultivated on the founders' own farm in the Eifel. It gives their gin an earthy smoothness rarely found in grain-based gins.

Serving Suggestions:
Enjoy it neat or over a single large ice cube to reveal its layers. If you must mix, go minimalist: a dash of dry vermouth for a martini, or a few dashes of orange bitters over ice for an elegant sipper.

Distillery Background:
Windspiel Distillery combines German precision with a heartfelt love of the land. From growing their own potatoes to crafting bespoke barrels, they focus on every detail. The result? A small batch gin with the soul of a legacy spirit, built from field to glass in volcanic soil and forged with obsessive care.
