Birdie Timut

Distillerie Birdie
# Birdie Timut Gin Imagine a gin that surprises you from the very first sip. Timut pepper from Nepal brings a bright, grapefruit-like zing that lifts the classic juniper base into something genuinely fresh and lively. Crafted in small batches by a passionate distillery team who care about every detail, this spirit balances citrus sparkle with gentle warmth and a smooth, clean finish. It's brilliant in a tonic with a slice of pink grapefruit, and it holds its own beautifully in a Negroni too. If you're after a gin that feels a little different without being showy, you'll want this one on your shelf.
