Producer history 1897 Quinine Gin

The gin was launched in 2015 and takes its name from the 1897 scientific discovery related to malaria transmission. The project was created with a philanthropic purpose: a share of sales proceeds is donated to the organization Malaria No More UK. The product is marketed under the Atom Brands group/brand and distributed on international markets through specialist retailers.

Production philosophy

It combines the pursuit of a pronounced and recognisable aromatic profile (including cinchona/quinine) with a social responsibility project: a fixed amount per bottle is allocated to support programmes against malaria.
