What IGIN means

The name joins "I" and "gin": a gin made in the maker's own way. The tagline is "Where Smiles Begin".

The lineup

Seven drinks: IGIN Apple Gin (40% ABV), the Apple Tonic ready-to-drink cans in four flavors, and two non-alcoholic cans, Apple Citrus and Apple Peach (under 0.5% ABV). Nothing is sold in the US yet; the two non-alcoholic cans arrive first.

The doodles

IGIN's packaging and merch carry five hand-drawn doodle characters: Dalkom the apple, Saekom the plum, Sangkom the grape, Pinkom the peach, and Byeolkom the UFO. Official IGIN merch is coming soon.
