McQueen and the Violet Fog Handcrafted Gin

SipShip - Free Shipping for a year -

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

McQueen & the Violet Fog is a show-stopping gin wrapped in intrigue and complexity. Born in the hills of Jundiaí, Brazil, and made in curious small batches, it blends 21 botanicals—six of which are rare in the gin universe—into a sugarcane-base spirit that’s aromatic, smooth, and endlessly explorative. It’s the kind of gin that makes you savor the label as much as the sip.


Origins & Production

  • Handcrafted in Jundiaí, Brazil, using a sugarcane-based neutral spirit—not your classic grain-forward vodka base.

  • Each batch—limited to under 500 liters—is distilled in a copper pot still using both maceration and vapor-infusion, merging oils from botanicals into graceful complexity.

  • The brand motto? "Pauca sed bona"—few but good. Every bottle is hand-bottled, small-batch art.


Botanical Cast

The gin’s botanical lineup punches above its weight with standout stars:

  • Signature botanicals (rare in gin): Indian basil, Portugal rosemary, fennel seed, calamansi, Vietnamese star anise, and Brazilian açaí.

  • Adds depth with lemongrass, pomelo peel, jasmine, juniper, and more—21 total botanicals create a lush flavor landscape.
