Eurostar launches its own gin

Eurostar has launched its very own gin to celebrate its 21st birthday.

Called Toujours 21, the gin was designed by top chef Raymond Blanc OBE, in partnership with artisan producers Silent Pool Distillers.

Eurostar said the gin ‘encapsulates Eurostar’s heritage, reminiscent of both British and French cultures’.

"Composed of a melange of French botanicals and classic floral scents of the British countryside, the rich juniper flavours and citrus traces are blended with the subtle sweetness of honey, creating a balanced gin that is classic yet unique," it said.

Blanc, who became Eurostar’s business premier culinary director three years ago, added: "When designing the gin, my vision was to take travellers on a journey of taste that played upon all the subtleties of the brand.

"The aromatic notes of lavender hint to Eurostar’s latest Provencal destination, while the delicate yet clean taste of the angelica evoke memories of the British countryside. By uniting such robust flavours, the bespoke gin is the perfect way to commemorate the anniversary."

The gin will be available in the Eurostar Business Premier lounges in London, Paris and Brussels.

It will be available to purchase online in the coming weeks.
