Bob Nolet Carolus Nolet Sr. Carl Nolet Jr. Botanical ingredients defi ne the character of gin. For centuries that character has been dominated by juniper berries: piney and bitter. The Nolets aspired to develop a gin that was more pleasing to their palates. So 11th generation sons Carl Jr. and Bob, along with their father, Carolus Sr., 10th generation owner of the Nolet Distillery, began experimenting with exotic botanicals, searching for fl oral and fruit-forward fl avors – an alternative to traditional gins. Slowly, the right notes emerged, harmonizing with each other beautifully in the glass. The Nolets highlight a few of the signature botanicals: alluring Turkish rose, sweet and succulent peach and robust, slightly tart raspberry. NOLET'S Silver Dry Gin Martini 1 oz.
