Stretton’s Double Cut Gin is a premium South African gin distilled twice (hence “Double Cut”) to enhance flavour extraction and smoothness. It balances classic gin botanicals—especially juniper—with sharp, fresh citrus and herbal notes. This expression is made to deliver greater aromatic and flavour intensity than the standard gin, making it appealing for those who enjoy a more pronounced gin character.

Serving Suggestions:
Served well over ice or neat with a premium tonic water; garnish with lemon slice or peel to accentuate its citrus character. Makes an excellent base for gin-forward cocktails like a Gin & Tonic, Negroni, or a Dry Martini. Also performs well with herbal or bittersweet mixers to contrast its citrus and juniper notes.
