What is 1643 Alpine Gin?

1643 Alpine Gin captures the essence of the Swiss Alps in every sip, blending traditional botanicals with wild mountain herbs foraged from high-altitude meadows. Interestingly, this gin is distilled using pure glacier water that's over 10,000 years old, filtered through ancient rock formations, giving it a remarkably smooth and crisp character that's hard to replicate.

Why do we love 1643 Alpine Gin?

1643 Alpine Gin stands out for its unique blend of 13 botanicals foraged from the French Alps, including wild juniper, génépi, and edelweiss. This artisanal gin captures the essence of high-altitude terroir, offering cocktail enthusiasts a taste of the crisp mountain air and Alpine herbs in every sip.

How do you drink 1643 Alpine Gin?

1643 Alpine Gin shines in refreshing, herb-forward cocktails that highlight its unique botanicals, though it's equally delightful sipped neat or over ice to fully appreciate its complexity. This gin is perfect for crisp autumn evenings or cool summer nights, pairing wonderfully with alpine-inspired cuisine like fondue, raclette, or herb-crusted roasts.

1643 Alpine Gin is crafted using a unique "terroir-to-bottle" approach, with botanicals foraged from the French Alps and distilled in small batches using pure alpine spring water. The gin's signature ingredient, génépi – a rare mountain flower that grows above 2,000 meters – is hand-picked by the distillers themselves, ensuring a true taste of the Alps in every sip.

1643 Alpine Gin was inspired by a 17th-century Swiss monk's secret herbal elixir recipe, discovered in an ancient monastery manuscript during renovations in 2018.

The gin's unique blue tint comes naturally from the butterfly pea flower, which changes color to pink when mixed with tonic water due to its pH-sensitive properties.

Each bottle of 1643 Alpine Gin contains a tiny amount of pure glacial water from the Aletsch Glacier, the largest glacier in the Alps, adding a touch of 10,000-year-old ice to every sip.
