Bayab African Grown Classic Dry Gin Review
Bayab is among the first African gins available in the U.S. market. Produced by Midlands distillery in South Africa, it's crafted from a blend of seven botanicals sourced from different regions of the continent. The most notable is the vitamin-C-rich baobab fruit, which gives the gin a delightful citrusy flavor. Bayab is dry and well-balanced, with subtle peppery notes that ensure it won't get lost in cocktails. On that front, start with a Last Word!
