Coming 2 May, Brockmans Gin is set to launch its latest expression – Orange Kiss. It marks the first new release since 2008.
The new expression blends together a range of both traditional and unique ingredients, with Valencia oranges, Triple Sec, juniper and coriander seeds providing the balanced gin foundation. The additions of Cassia bark and Angelica root are said to provide a perfumed complexity, with almond oil contributing to a smooth finish.
Orange Kiss is presented in a tinted red-to-orange bottle, featuring Brockman’s distinctive crosshatch on the body and its signature initial on the bottleneck.
The launch is supported by the Kiss My Sunset campaign, which sees the brand creating an emphasis on the outdoor sunset throughout this spring and upcoming summer.
Brockmans’ global marketing director Eric Sampers said on the launch: “Brockmans has built an internationally growing fanbase of loyal consumers and advocates with just one expression thanks to its standout taste profile. Our ambition with Brockmans’ second expression Orange Kiss is to challenge perception as to what people think of flavoured gin. We have taken a common ingredient – orange – and we have twisted it to deliver a unique and elevated taste experience the ‘properly improper’ Brockmans way.”
Orange Kiss will be available to purchase on Amazon, bottled at 40% ABV at an RRP of £34 per 70cl bottle.
