All Sir Edmond Gin:
Who is Sir Edmond?
Or rather: who was Sir Edmond? Because this extraordinary man is a historical figure from the 19th century. Edmond Albius was born a slave on the island of Réunion, which is not far from Madagascar. At the age of twelve, he discovered a new method for manually pollinating the vanilla orchid. This led to a real revolution in the vanilla industry.
Edmond's technique is still used today to pollinate the vanilla on the island. Unfortunately, he did not benefit much from it. When slavery was abolished in 1848, he started working as a kitchen servant. He was accused of stealing jewelry and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. After 5 years, he was granted clemency by the governor due to his remarkable contributions in the field of vanilla. He died in poverty at the age of 51.

Sir Edmond Gin is a tribute to Edmond Albius. Therefore, vanilla plays the leading role in this excellent Dutch gin. But this gin derives its flavors from 5 other botanicals. Below we discuss them.
- Vanilla is not only responsible for the color of the gin but also gives the drink a soft, refined taste.
- The juniper berries come from Macedonia and form the heart of this gin.
- Angelica root is a commonly used ingredient in gin. Originally, medicinal properties were attributed to angelica root. Now gin distillers love this botanical for its sweet fragrance.
- Cardamom is a strong, fragrant spice and is part of the ginger family. The cardamom comes from Guatemala. It is one of the most expensive spices in the world.
- Ginger is thus a cousin of cardamom. Sir Edmond Gin sources its ginger from Nigeria.
