McLarenโs Danny Ric has some fresh competition in the โBooze From An F1 Driverโ department as Valtteri Bottas introduces his O/\TH Gin brand.
Created alongside his Australian girlfriend and Olympic cyclist Tiffany Cromwell, this handcrafted spirit is apparently made using a special โfamilyโ recipe inspired by both world-renowned racers.
As per the official press release, the formula involves a unique marriage between oats from the Alfa Romeo driverโs fields over in Finland, the famed Adelaide-grown apples near Cromwellโs hometown of Stirling, along with a โgroundbreakingโ method of temperature-controlled distillation.

โO/\TH salutes the promises we give ourselves, our loved ones, our homeland,โ states Valtteri Bottas.
โBloody O/\TH! We wanted to create a premium gin together embodying our family heritages from Australia and Finland,โ adds Tiffany Cromwell.
Finnish โsisuโ meets Aussie true grit, if you will.
A standard pot-stilled juniper berry base is seasoned with vacuum-distilled oats and apple peels. The combination of three different distillates apparently results in a unique floral, spicy, and fruity gin with light pine notes on the top.
โThe gin base is a selection of botanicals, such as oats and juniper berry. Apple peels give a final, distinctive touch,โ explains Cromwell.
โO/\TH Gin has distinctive base notes of oats that gives the gin not only a unique flavour โ but also character and a certain softness,โ say Bottas.
Valtteri Bottas and Tiffany Cromwellโs O/\TH gin will soon be available to purchase via Amazon and the ALKO stores of Finland.
