NOLET'S Silver Gin. Nolet Distillery, Schiedam, Netherlands — a modern, floral-forward Dutch gin built on three signature botanicals — Turkish rose, white peach, and raspberry — each individually macerated and distilled in small copper pot stills, by a family that has been distilling in Schiedam since 1691. The Nolet family is one of the great dynasties of Dutch distilling. Founded in 1691, their Schiedam distillery has been passed through eleven generations, with the current chairman Carolus Nolet — the 10th generation — also responsible for launching Ketel One Vodka in 1983. NOLET'S Silver was conceived as a radical departure from the juniper-forward tradition: a gin whose three headline botanicals are rose, peach, and raspberry, making it the benchmark expression of what has become known as the "floral gin" category. The production method is what distinguishes NOLET'S Silver from most gin. Each of the three signature botanicals — Turkish rose, white peach, and raspberry — is individually macerated and distilled in small copper pot stills before being blended with the base gin, which retains classic botanicals including juniper, citrus, orris root, and licorice. The result is extraordinarily smooth for a 47.6% ABV spirit and genuinely floral — not in a perfumed, overwrought way, but in the way of a garden in bloom. Juniper is present but deliberately muted, making NOLET'S Silver one of the most approachable gins for drinkers who don't typically enjoy traditional London Dry. Tasting Notes Nose: Intense Turkish rose and stone fruit — sun-ripened peach and fresh raspberry lead with lavender and sweet herbal botanicals. The floral character is luxuriant and immediately distinctive. Palate: Smooth and surprisingly creamy for its strength. Turkish delight-influenced rose petal alongside vivid raspberry, stone fruit, and a drying blast of piney juniper and earthy orris root underneath. Black pepper and cardamom add spice depth. Finish: Long and fruity with a lingering interplay between rose, raspberry, rooty orris, piney juniper, and peppery warmth. Elegant and refined through the close.

Frequently Asked Questions What does NOLET'S Silver taste like? Intensely floral on the nose — Turkish rose, white peach, and raspberry lead with lavender and sweet herbal notes. The palate is smooth and creamy with rose petal, vivid raspberry, stone fruit, and a drying juniper and orris root backbone. The finish is long with rose, raspberry, and warm spice. Is NOLET'S Silver good for non-gin drinkers? Yes — it is one of the most approachable gins for those who don't typically enjoy juniper-heavy London Drys. Its floral and fruit-forward character is closer in style to a sophisticated liqueur than a classic gin, making it an excellent entry point. Does NOLET'S Silver have juniper? Yes, but it is deliberately muted. Classic gin botanicals including juniper, citrus, orris root, and licorice form the base, but they support rather than lead the three signature botanicals of rose, peach, and raspberry. What cocktails is NOLET'S Silver best in? Outstanding in a floral Martini with a lemon twist — the signature serve. Also excellent in a delicate G&T with light tonic. Best avoided in spirit-forward drinks where the floral profile can clash with bitter vermouth. Who makes NOLET'S Silver?
