The Cucumber seems to give it an almost creamy texture." -alcoholreviews.com   Magellan Gin Origin: France   In 1519, 5 ships led by Ferdinand de Magellan set out to circumnavigate the world and explore the "spice islands." 3 years later, only the ship Victoria returned to Spain with 18 people and several barrels of cloves...it is to cloves in particular, that Magellan Gin owes its unrivaled taste.   Martin Millers Gin   93 Points -Beverage Testing Institute Double Gold Medal -San Francisco World Spirits Comp.
