In the new Seventy One gin from Mert Alas, oak casks are aged and a flower that blooms only once a year is used as its flavoring.

‍

Although there are more and more bold names releasing their own spirits these days, the newest addition to the pack may be the most stylish member of the pack yet.

‍

Mert Alas, an internationally recognized fashion photographer, has just released a new drink called Seventy One Gin. As well as being known for his collaborative work with his creative partner Marcus Piggot, Alas has been a fan of gin for many years now, and he has been working on improving his favorite drink for the last four years. Unlike traditional spirits, it is a perfume-like spirit that is aged in oak casks for a long period of time.

‍

The gin is aged in a succession of Spanish virgin oak casks for 71 nights, all of which are designed to impart the gin with a richness of smoky depth, American oak sherry casks for a touch of sweetness, and French oak cognac casks for a little warmth. Additionally, this process is also responsible for the beguiling amber color that is characteristic of the gin.

‍

In terms of taste, it isn't just about juniper. The gin is infused with hints of damask rose and grapefruit, and it's complemented with the flavors of peat and spicy citrus. As a final note, the gin is accompanied by a touch of cactus flowers, specifically Selenicereus grandifloras, the 'queen of the night.' The hard-won petals of this plant bloom only at midnight once a year, and add a subtle aroma that is similar to that of jasmine. A beautiful art deco inspired bottle accompanies the spirit, which has a story that has more romance than some of Alas's fashion campaigns because of its packaging.

The gin is packaged more like a perfume than a traditional spirit.
