About the Magic
The Witches’ Brew Craft Gin (link)
At the heart of every elixir lies Magic Stone — the origin gin.
Distilled with sacred juniper, and nine additional botanicals, and whispered magical seasonings, it forms the base of 15 unique blends.
On this day, four will be unveiled and paired in ritual harmony.
