Edition 60, Nonsense, is playful, nostalgic, and delightfully weird.
This one’s built on a base of bright, tart rhubarb - tempered by a lush, velvety custard note that softens the edges and rounds out the madness. It's got zing. It's got creaminess. It’s got no business working, but somehow… it really, really does.
Inspired by the kind of desserts that made childhood feel like magic, this gin is equal parts whimsical and polished.
Smooth up front with a tangy lift through the finish - sip it neat, mix it bold, or just let the nonsense take over.
