Travellers Liquors Ltd. of Belize just recently introduced their newest product in a line of great liquors by the distillery, the Baron Gin. It’s been commented being an exquisite Gin that you will think that you are drinking an imported Gin. Coming from a distillery that has won various awards with other rums like the One Barrel Rum, it’s no doubt that the Baron Gin is a great tasting liquor.
The Baron Gin is made from double rectified spirits, perfectly infused with gin flavors from France. The gin concentrate comes from Cognac Ferrand in France and as Gin becomes more popular in Europe, especially in Spain where there is a craze about it, Travellers Liquors believes the same will happen in here in Belize.
“Well, the name of the product came from Baron Bliss, the well-known benefactor to the country, as it is an English drink,” commented Amanda Perdomo, Marketing Director of Travellers Liquors Ltd. “We make the best alcohol that comes out from our distillery and we double rectify it and then filter it to get a clean spirit. We then blend it with the gin concentrate from Cognac France and there you have it! A great tasting gin product of Belize.”
The label depicts the Baron Bliss lighthouse skyline of Belize City.
Ambergris Today took to the hard task of sampling some great tasting cocktails made from the Baron Gin provided to us by Travellers Liquors Ltd. and prepared to us by the newest beach bar in town located at the Ocean Tide Beach Resort. The results were very tasty and we ended up enjoying a great-tasting Belizean products at the great lounge ambience by the beach that is Ocean Tide.
The gin is excellent with tonic water and lime for a nice ‘Gin & Tonic’, great for martinis and the classic Gin and Pink Grapefruit Juice. We share with you the recipes of four cocktails made with Travellers Baron Gin so you can try them for yourself or request them at your favorite hangout.
