Winter means gin season.
The name Flivver is a prohibition era slang word for an old Ford which was the bootleggers' vehicle of choice in the era of illegal moonshiners and backwoods stills.
Enter 2023, Flivver is the name given to one of South Africa's most sumptuous gins on the market.
It is distilled by Still 33.
The main botanicals of Juniper berries, Rooibos tea, Grapefruit, Lemon and Coriander are prominent and easil identifiable in this Gin.
The citrus provides a fresh flavour which comes through easily on the nose along with the juniper berries.
The rooibos is comforting and subtle, with the colour of a freshly brewed cup of tea adds a sense of familiarity.
Coriander adds a hint of spiciness to make it an interesting and well-rounded gin.
A classic pairing with mint, blueberry and lemon enhance the sweetness in the citrus.
It should be paired with a good quality tonic or enjoyed neat with just a simple slice of lemon or grapefruit.
