A classic London Dry style gin with an African twist. Clean, zesty and juniper-forward, whilst balancing the sweet softness of Maroela fruit and bright citrus notes.
The main botanical in this 6 Botanical Gin African dry gin is the fruit of the Maroela tree. These trees cannot be cultivated, therefore once a year at the peak of summer, the female Maroela trees bear their unique fruit. When the scent of ripe Maroela fills the air, the elephants travel vast distances in order to get a taste.
The fruits have a light yellow skin, with white flesh that is rich in vitamin C, containing about eight times the amount found in an orange. We use the peels of the Maroela fruit to provide the delicate lemon sweetness to our perfect take on a London dry, but in Africa we call it African dry.
Ours is about 3 feet by 3 feet, and on our left is the account's block. The marketing block is down the hall.
We're joking. Obviously.
Ours is at least 5 by 5, and on Wednesdays we're allowed to write in coffee shops to maintain the illusion that we're "successful" and "writerly".
Coming up with a write up for the simple sake of a write up does, however, become difficult when we're staring complete lack of creativity right in the face. But apparently asking management to cancel all the deals for the day isn't a viable fix.
As they so delicately put it, it'd be like a comedian having the option to suddenly cancel a show if they're not feeling up to it. Not on our watch, they said. You'll do a write up whether you like it or not, they said. And be funny, they said.
So here we are, doing a write up and being funny.
