– THE ILLUSIONIST DISTILLERY –
THE ILLUSIONIST DRY GIN
Unravel the secret of the Illusionist: A deep blue gin, that augments you from your daily sloth, and upon mixing with tonic, delivers the gentle yet enticing pink elixir. Born in the locale Glockenbach of Munich, ready for new adventures.
In 2015, Tim Steglich alongside with Max Muggenthaler conceptualised a new gin: a deep blue gin characterised by a distinct fruity and floral body, topped off with a distinguished twist. When combined with tonic, the otherwise royal blue colour undergoes a natural reaction, to become a gentle pink concoction. And with that, The Illusionist Dry Gin was born. Being new in the scene, the gin presented itself only to a select number of bars, and quickly became the little secret in the gastronomy of Munich. Now, it caters to a larger scale of daily memorable experiences throughout Germany and neighbouring markets.
“Floral. Fruity. Unexpected. Our gin combines influences from all around the world – distilled in a potstill, hand filled into its art nouveau stylized vessels.”
OUR MYSTERIOUS RECIPE
There’s a story to be told within the bottle: a light breeze of liqourice root, earthy-warm mace, fruity citrus peels and a mysterious blue flower from the far east. Distilled in a potstill, hand filled into its black art nouveau stylized vessels. Come closer and let yourself be enchanted.
FRUITY CITRUS ZESTS
There’s no reason to be sour: afterall we use only the highest quality lemons, oranges and grapefruits with the freshest zests.
A HINT OF LIQUORICE ROOT
Not the liquorice you think you know. This gentle sweet stroke of flavour delivers a charming characteristic to the already subtle balance of flavour.
EARTHY WARM MACE
Unearth the delicate , lemon-sweet aroma native to the south-east asia region. True to savoury dishes, yet versatile enough to bring harmony to our gin.
THE MYSTERIOUS FLOWER
The Femme Fatale from the far east: it narrates the Illusionist’s personality with the tender-nutty notes and its unique blue complexion.
