At Sir Edmond Gin, we see the transition from winter to spring as a special moment. It’s not only the weather and daylight that change, but also the way flavors are experienced. Within the spirits world, this marks a subtle yet important shift: from rich, warming profiles to lighter, fresher expressions that perfectly suit longer days and more social occasions.
For us, this is the moment to showcase the versatility of our gin. While winter calls for depth and spice, spring is all about freshness, balance and refinement. Our signature Bourbon Vanilla profile acts as a naturel bridge between the seasons.
We distil Sir Edmond Gin at Herman Jansen, where we combine classic notes of juniper and citrus with the soft, aromatic warmth of Bourbon Vanilla from La Réunion. This unique composition allows our gin to adapt effortlessly to different seasonal moments. In winter, the vanilla enhances richer, spiced combinations, while in spring it brings roundness and elegance to fresh, citrus-driven cocktails.
For us, the transition from winter to spring is not about replacing flavors, but about finding the right balance. Vanilla plays a key role in this. Its natural sweetness and creamy texture soften acidity, enhance floral notes and add depth without overpowering lighter ingredients. This is why we see more bartenders embracing vanilla in their pursuit of layered yet approachable cocktails.
Our fresh spring serve: Raspberry & Lemon Gin & Tonic
With the arrival of spring, we favor light, refreshing serves that are easy to prepare and perfectly suited to the season. Our Raspberry & Lemon Gin & Tonic demonstrates how our soft vanilla notes pair beautifully with fresh fruit and citrus.

50 ml Sir Edmond Gin

The combination of bright citrus and gently sweet raspberry highlights the smooth, rounded notes of vanilla, while the tonic delivers a refreshing balance.
We also see consumer behavior shifting with the seasons. As we spend more time outdoors and occasions become more informal, the demand grows for spirits that are versatile – from aperitif to refreshing long drink. With our distinctive yet balanced profile, we fit seamlessly into these moments
With the arrival of spring, we invite you to enjoy lighter serves, experiment with new combinations, and let flavor follow the rhythm of the season.
