Jörg Fiedler travelled all the way to Croatia to find those aromatic juniper berries that make the Juniper Jack such a unique gin. "Most of the new gins saw themselves as "New Western Gin". In other words, gin was supposed to taste not like juniper! No, that was not and is not our thing! We want a gin that can be identified as gin even when blind and with fever of 40 degrees. And so the first phase of recipe development was characterized by the search for "our" juniper" says Fiedler on the website of his company. The name "Juniper Jack" comes - logically - from the juniper itself. However, there is much more behind the name: the story of an English journeyman distiller who lost his job in 1736. At this time, King George II tried to combat excessive moonshine distilling with a series of laws known as the "Gin Acts". Under the pseudonym, "Jack Juniper" the journeyman then wrote the theatre play "The Death of Queen Gin" which had its premiere at the New Theatre in the Haymarket on August 2, 1736 - and was banned shortly thereafter. Inspired by this story, the name for the new gin brand was found.


With the new exclusive gift set from MEISSEN X JUNIPER JACK, the cooperation between the two Saxon brands is going into the next phase. This year, the companies present themselves with a joint Juniper Jack Meissen Gin & Cherry - a London Dry Gin with a noble cherry note. The crossed swords, the distinctive trademark of the Meissen porcelain manufactory, not only adorn the label of the bottle, but also the modern gin cups made of finest Meissen porcelain. They are part of the "Swords" collection, with which the legendary signet is presented as an outstanding decoration in the shimmering color of gold. The gin tumblers with a filling volume of 0.15l are shaped like classic tumblers - haptically appealing and large enough to hold several ice cubes. In addition, the porcelain material keeps your gin cool and fresh.
Supplemented by a noble cardboard packaging, the set presents itself as the perfect gift for all gin lovers. Let yourself be inspired by this taste and sensory explosion and order the Juniper Jack Meissen Gin & Cherry today in our online store.
