Up in the mountains, southwest of Strasbourg in the middle of the famous Black Forest, sits The Black Forest Boar Distillery. They officially claim, “Handmade Quality in Our Own Distillery - By Tradition Since 1844.” But we think that probably means a home distillery, not production. But who knows, right? What we have is a small, craft distillery making quality Gin in some very unique ways, and that’s all we need to know.
What makes Boar Premium Dry Gin interesting is the list of botanicals harvested locally in the forest — a closely-held secret. But we have our sources. In addition to expected juniper berries, lemon zest, lavender, and coriander they add thyme and black forest truffles! Yes, you did read that correctly — black forest truffles. We’ve tasted hundreds of Gins and this is the first time we’ve ever seen that ingredient listed in any infusion… anywhere. It’s rare and expensive and coveted by gourmet chefs all over the world. And it adds a savory earthiness to the Gin that’s simply delicious. It’s also won more awards than any other Gin the last two years.
Smartass corner:
Truffles are fungi — similar to mushrooms — that grow completely underground at the base of certain tree species. They are exceptionally valuable — second only to Saffron in rarity and value as a flavoring.

The Flavor Spiral™ shows the most common flavors that you'll taste in Boar Premium Dry Gin and gives you a chance to have a taste of it before actually tasting it.
We invented Flavor Spiral™ here at Flaviar to get all your senses involved in tasting drinks and, frankly, because we think that classic tasting notes are boring.

Hardcore Gin lovers say the word Martini should never be preceded by Vodka, lobster, or pomegranate. They say the original and the only real Martini consists of Gin, Vermouth & olives, period!
While juniper-heavy Gin is perfect for your daily G&T, it is also complemented extremely well by tea flavours such as Earl Grey. Try steeping Earl Grey tea bags in Gin for an hour before mixing it with lemon juice and soda for a refreshing tipple. This one gets you additional kudos, so let’s keep it between us.
Classifications of Gin: London Dry Gin, Plymouth Gin, Old Tom Gin, Genever or Dutch, New Western or new American or International style.
Few Gin distillers make their own alcohol. Gin usually starts with neutral Spirit: A commodity that distillers buy in bulk. It’s what the distiller does with this commodity in the flavor-infusing process that makes each Gin different.
How much Tonic is in a Gin & Tonic? The ideal proportions for a perfect Gin & Tonic is one part Gin and two parts Tonic.
London Dry Gin is not always from London. Gin does not have the same geographical restrictions as Spirits such as Cognac, Scotch, or Tequila. Only a tiny handful of London Dry Gins are actually made in the city.
