Tasting Notes

Nose

Fresh rosemary — juniper and olive immediately, fruity sweetness, floral violet, anise, focaccia-like, the three olive varieties creating extraordinary savoury depth

Palate

Sweet black olive and juniper entering together — tapenade with lemon zest, umami sweetness, green apple freshness, spice bite, smooth enough for the driest Martini, the Charentais still producing remarkable elegance

Finish

Sea salt — salty-savoury olive lingering, fennel and truffle, the ultimate Provençal close

First Impressions

Manguin en Provence slowly macerates three types of Haute-Provence olives, then distils in a Charentais copper still alongside juniper, orris, coriander, and citrus peels. The result smells like focaccia and tastes like the ultimate olive Martini.

Tasting

Three Provençal olive varieties with classic gin botanicals. Rosemary and olive nose. Olive-juniper palate with tapenade and umami. Sea salt and truffle finish.

The Bottom Line

Manguin Oli'Gin earns an 8 — the olive is the ultimate savoury gin botanical, and three Provençal varieties create unmatched depth. The Martini gin where the olive is already inside. At £82, Haute-Provence luxury.
