Opyos Dry Gin brought to you by Everyday Luxembourg

Opyos gin started like many good stories—with three friends sitting at a bar.

The Opyos adventure began 10 years ago as Fränk Wagner, Michel Schammel and Jim Wagener sipped and discussed how Luxembourg’s Emz Blanche Valley’s once traditional process of transforming old fruit varieties into high-proof beverages was about to disappear. Their desire to revive this fading heritage turned into a passion as the men aspired to pair typical gin ingredients with native Luxembourg botanicals to create a uniquely Luxembourgish product line. 

All Opyos products are carefully handcrafted to perfection. They are gradually heated in the copper still to allow for gentle extraction of the aromas of the gin before being rested for several months to allow all flavors to properly marry. Every bottle receives a handwritten unique number as it is signed off as ready to enjoy.

Everyday Luxembourg currently carries Opyos Dry Gin, a harmonious blend of eight local elements that the Opyos team handpicks in their rural Luxembourg surroundings and intermix with 18 classic gin botanicals that results in a London Dry Gin. Click here to purchase Opyos Dry Gin.

Tasting notes for Opyos Dry Gin
NOSE: Dominating juniper in the beginning, together with notes of different barriers and blossoms. Followed by a freshness tracing back to citrus fruits. In the end, bitter and spicy aromas are adding to the complexity.

PALATE: Complex, reflecting the aromas from the nose. The juniper that is dominating at the beginning is sliding to the background and leaving a wide, fruity, crisp taste with nuances of spiciness and a certain sweetness. 

FINISH: Rounded off and harmonious. The honey, the bold spiciness from the juniper and coriander and the citrus notes ensure a rather intense but pleasant sensation that remains for a while.
