In a market bursting at the seams with boutique gins, all jockeying for shelf space in bars and attention from consumers, we believe Peddlers Gin stands apart – and not just because it hails from Shanghai. This small-batch spirit really leans into its Chinese roots, drawing on a distinctive blend of botanicals that reflect both tradition and location. Think Sichuan peppercorns, Buddha’s hand, and lotus flower, all nicely balanced against the more familiar notes of juniper and citrus – the result is a flavour profile that’s both punchy and refined, with a subtle heat, nice mouthfeel, and a long, aromatic finish.
Even the bottle itself is a talking point: stout, dark glass with a bold, almost industrial aesthetic that’s more something you’d find in an apothecary than on a posh drinks trolley. It’s the sort of gin that invites curiosity, pours well in both classic and contemporary cocktails (even a standard G&T is a standout), and crucially, doesn’t feel like a clone of anything else. For Malaysian gin aficionados looking to enjoy something genuinely different – and not just another “craft” label with a flowery backstory – Peddlers Gin is a smart pick that we feel delivers on substance as much as style. It’s available exclusive through Albert Wines and Spirits, and you can check it out online at www.albertwines2u.com.my
Please enjoy Peddler's Gin responsibly.
