Morris London Dry Gin
Destillerie The Wild Alps, Schweiz
Description
A very individual interpretation of a London Dry Gin with a clear nose and a balanced aroma of juniper, wild alpine herbs and citrus fruits. On the palate it shows an absolutely accomplished interplay of botanicals, with the typical notes of juniper, herbs and a playful citrus note. About the brand: William Morris was an important architect and co-founder of the "Arts and Crafts Movement" in England in the middle of the 19th century. According to his plans, John Oakley Maund built two hunting villas, one in Weggis on Lake Lucerne and one in Schoppernau, in the Arlberg region. The Villa Maund, a unique place in Vorarlberg around which many myths have grown, has always been visited by many famous people and is considered the place of origin of The Wild Alps' creations. The label of Morris Gin is based on an original velvet print by William Morris and pays homage to its extraordinary character.

Switzerland
Switzerland – A small country with enormous diversity
Switzerland is famous for its banks, watches, and cheese, but not necessarily for its wine. The Swiss didn't invent wine, but they have been extremely open and curious to it. Wine culture arrived in what is now modern Switzerland via several routes: from Marseilles to Lake Geneva and the Lower Valais region; from the Aosta Valley through the Great St. Bernard Pass to the rest of Valais; from the Rhone through Burgundy, across the Jura Mountains to Lake Constance; and from Lombardy to Ticino, and then on to Grisons.
