Morus LXIV gin released

Jam Jar Gin has released what it claims is the world's most valuable gin, Morus LXIV. 

Morus LXIV has been produced in limited quantities exclusively sold at Harvey Nichols retailers in the UK. 

Morus LXIV will be released in two limited edition sizes: in a 70cl vessel, along with a smaller 3cl size.

Distilled from the leaves of a single, ancient Mulberry tree (Morus Nigra), a single batch of this cask-strength (64% ABV) gin takes more than two years to produce. Each leaf is hand-harvested and individually dried before being balanced with further botanicals and distilled. Once the distillate is ready, it is rested to allow the flavours to combine before being prepared for ageing. 

Hand-made porcelain jars, embossed and polished to a diamond matt finish in  crisp white are paired with a porcelain stirrup cup – a take on the traditional British drinking vessel. The  presentation is completed with a leather hide, hand embossed case to give an organic feel. 

Deluxe edition: 1x 70cl Morus LXIV porcelain jar, 1x 3cl Morus LXIV porcelain jar and stirrup cup with hide case, presented in luxury gift box – RRP £4,000.

3cl Morus LXIV porcelain jar and stirrup cup with hide case, presented in luxury gift box – RRP £200.
