Where You'll Find The Largest Gin Collection In The World

What can you find in the largest gin collection?

Renowned for its key role in the gin and tonic cocktail, gin boasts a vibrant, pine-like taste derived from juniper berries, with a variety of other botanicals often incorporated during the distillation process. While juniper berries are essential, there are no strict guidelines regarding which botanicals can be included, allowing each brand to showcase its own distinct character. The Gin Archive features rare varieties, such as Hendrick's Kanaracuni, which is infused with the Amazonian scorpion tail plant.

Although gin is primarily associated with production in the U.K., the U.S., and Spain, the Roberts have also curated selections from Japan, southern Africa, and other unconventional regions. Their collection includes some of the most expensive and oldest gins globally, such as a 1495 bottle from the French distillery Maison Villevert and the Cambridge Distillery Watenshi Gin, priced at $3,700. The Gin Archive also houses some of the strongest gins in the world, with alcohol by volume (ABV) ranging from 75% to 95%.

For those eager to explore an impressive gin collection without an invitation from the Roberts, Atlas Bar in Singapore is a public venue featuring over 1,300 gins from across the globe. The bar's atmosphere is equally captivating, with an Art Deco theme that evokes the spirit of the roaring '20s, and the towering 26-foot gin display serves as a must-see attraction for gin enthusiasts.
