The world of gin is diverse and vibrant, with a rich history and a variety of styles that cater to all palates. While many enjoy a good gin and tonic or a classic martini, some connoisseurs seek out the finest and most exclusive gins available. These premium gins are not just about the taste, they are about the gin experiences, the craftsmanship, and the story behind each bottle. At Brogans Way, a premier gin distillery in Melbourne, we appreciate the artistry that goes into creating these exceptional spirits. Join us as we explore the top 5 most expensive gins in the world, each offering a unique gin tasting experience that is truly unparalleled.
1. Nolet’s Reserve Dry Gin
Nolet’s Reserve Dry Gin, produced by the Nolet family in the Netherlands, is often hailed as one of the most luxurious gins available. Priced at around $700 per bottle, this gin is crafted with saffron and verbena, resulting in a distinctive flavor profile that is both rich and complex. The Nolet family has been in the gin-making business for over 325 years, and their dedication to quality is evident in every sip. A gin tasting of Nolet’s Reserve is an unforgettable experience, showcasing the heights of gin craftsmanship.
2. Jam Jar Gin Morus LXIV
Jam Jar Gin Morus LXIV is a limited-edition gin that takes exclusivity to another level. Retailing for approximately $5,000, this gin is made from the leaves of a single ancient mulberry tree. The production process is highly labor-intensive, with each leaf hand-picked and each batch distilled in tiny quantities. The result is a gin that is intensely aromatic and flavourful, offering a gin tasting experience that is both rare and exquisite. This gin is presented in a handcrafted porcelain jar, adding to its unique appeal.
3. Anty Gin
Anty Gin, priced at around $270 per bottle, is not just a gin; it’s an adventure. Created by the Nordic Food Lab and Cambridge Distillery, this gin is made using red wood ants. Yes, you read that right—ants. These ants produce formic acid, which adds a distinct citrus flavour to the gin. Combined with botanicals like juniper and wild herbs, Anty Gin offers a truly unique gin tasting experience. This innovative approach to gin-making has earned Anty Gin a place among the most expensive and intriguing gins in the world.
4. Monkey 47 Distiller’s Cut
Monkey 47 Distiller’s Cut is an annual limited edition release that gin enthusiasts eagerly anticipate. With a price tag of around $90 per bottle, it is more accessible than some of the other gins on this list but still commands a premium price due to its exceptional quality. This gin is made with 47 different botanicals, including rare and seasonal ingredients, making each year’s release unique. A gin tasting of Monkey 47 Distiller’s Cut is a journey through a complex and harmonious blend of flavours, showcasing the artistry of gin distillation.
5. Hernö Juniper Cask Gin
