Who We Are

About Us

U-Gin is an experience. Each sip ignites love, passion, emotions, and everything that’s exciting.  It’s more than Gin, it’s a memory that you’ll fall in love with, and want to experience again and again.

Indulge in the gastronomical experience which has been expertly crafted by Chef Julian or as many say Chef Cardwin, a world explorer through cuisine, taking you on that same journey through U-Gin. 

The Creator!

Chef Julian recalls his childhood in the Caribbean, with citrus, fresh herbs, and botanicals in abundance, that transported you by the nose from the smell in the air.  His grandparents were farmers who passed on a love for captivating flavors right to him.  Now as a prolific chef, Julian creates his own internationally inspired recipes.  Food and drink have become an exploration of flavor, aroma, and the fusion of elements.

The Gin!

It’s no surprise then, that the first U-Gin is made from sugarcane.  The influence of the Caribbean and world travel form an imprint on Julian’s palate.  Fused with the honeyed flavor of fig, the first note is caramel, smooth, sensuous, and inviting. You settle into it, the way you would sink into the back of a luxury sedan.

Press into an orange peel and watch the zest spritz the air.  Taste the sugar and acid of citrus on your tongue. Not too sour, not too sweet. Can you feel it? 

This experience is something special, and you’ll want to savor it.  But just as you get comfortable, the sweet, tangy tartness of blood orange follows close behind, just before a whisper of juniper berry, so mellow you almost miss it, melds into an elegant dance with the surprise of other elements.
